Wow, Rhonda, thank you so much.

Comment from Life is but a dream.
It's the emotion within this art that captivates.

We can all relate to this image...the curiosity of children, the glow so well done the shadow effect.

Top notch as always.

Dear Life, I thank you .

Comment from Zilyram
The curiosity is created well and the candlelight creating a subtle glow on the little ones face is excellent. Had to look twice as it really looks so much a photograph (which I know it is of your artwork) your artistic skills are excellent.

Well, my friend, you have honored me with a 6, and with your fantastic input.

Comment from Imaginos
A wonderful image of a child's curiosity. I love the way you've created the feel of a space lit only by candles. The child is clearly drawn by their light and warmth. I am sure if we pulled back a bit, we'd see mom or dad standing nearby making sure he is safe.

I know who this artist is by her excellent work and style. What an adorable drawing of this little boy and his fascination with the candlelight. Great contest submission. Excellent POV and visual impact. Very well done. ~Alveria

Comment from snowblaze
Stunning.

The position of the little boy IS exactly the way a toddler would position himself to see the candles. I like how you brought his face TO the candles, rather than the other way around. Very creative and well drawn.

Comment from T.davisartsandcrafts
This is so realistic that I thought it was a photo. This is an amazing job and a well deserved six! The candle light is spectacular. I wish to be this good some day.
