    Melting prayers

    Was taken by the flames and yellow candles and the fact that this trough in Thailand was full of melted wax and candles on their sides, would welcome any comments.

    Many thanks

    Herriot,

    This is beautiful. I think I would have been quite taken with it too. I like the perspective and the lighting is just lovely. Nice work.

    Herriot,

    This is outstanding, I love how is some places the flames and the candles almost blend into each other.

    Hi Herriot,
    When I first saw the photo, I thought it was an insect. After reading your description, I feel a very sad sentiment.The bent candles appear as distorted persons to me.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for your comments, interesting to see that you initially thought that this looked like an insect Yoyo and agree that there is a somewhat hopeless sense to this scene.

    Many thanks again
    Herriot
