A very nice seasonal photo posted here! Your fine full and central composition grants us an enjoyable look at your lovely candles. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!

This is just perfect. The still life is exquisitely lightened. I love the crisp capture of the candles. The details are beautifully defined. The melting wax and the wick inside the flames are especial intriguing. The dark surroundings emphasize the decorative arrangement excellently.

I know you don't need a six, but you deserve a six. You work is always thought out and carried at to perfection. The glow from the candles provides just enough light to shine off the other objects in the photo. I always get excited to see your work. One day, maybe I can come close to what you are able to do.

Comment from Joanna Bachman
An impressive,well-composed Yuletide photograph. The juxtaposition of the red and white candles on a diagonal,with holly around them,on a brass plate, is well done.
Cordially,
Joanna Bachman

Excellent shot of the melting down candles, Annie and I like the effects you used. I like the angle you used, also, looking down into the candles. Interesting how the red candle has a longer flame than the white one. Very good lighting and focus. Lovely composition. Suzanne

Oh this is such a lovely scene Annie. You are the true artist when it comes to images like this.

The lighting is so nice. Your after photo work is always beautifully done. Just right for this time of the year. Nice work Annie ~ Steve
