    Re: By candlelight

    I like it

    Probably will crop the first object , necklace? , or reshoot, but move it so it is in focus
    I would also crop the dark diagonal object on the lower right

    I wish it was posted a little bigger so I could see the details better.

    First adjust the pixel size to a max of 800 horizontal or vertical. Then save with a jpg Quality that gets the file size under 293 KB. - TF

    A bit small to evaluate. I like the shot, but as much as I hate to say it it looks like a murder scene or at least one from an 80s horror movie Of course if you were intending that then it's great. The progression of objects to her is awesome. Everything is well composed, the lighting is interesting too, but I am not sure about how strong that light is there as it seems to be burning out in the circle. I also wish more of her was visible (a bit dark there). Nice work overall.

    Re: By candlelight

    Thank you both. I’ll edit to 800mp as you said. Gb1 it was the dark side look, so it came out well. The objects to bring in the viewer into the photo was lost on others that I have shown this to so thank you for that. The lighting was one large candle behind the wall as to not flare my lens and yet give the reddish Rembrandt look that I wanted.
