Yipppeeee for the win on this one! It received my vote!
From day one you have drawn me into your work by your use of light. It was you in my early days that taught me the importance of light, shadows, POV and white balance. Well, you along with Ed and Mike aka Echo and Donkeyoatey.
I like the soft beauty, elegance and magical Bokeh.
Well done ;)

I can see why it won,it's gorgeous! Beautifully composed and enhanced to bring out the beauty of the contrasting light and shadows! The candle and the sprig of berries compliment each other with their lovely red coloration and make this a well balanced creation.

A beautiful picture of the burning & glowing red candle placed in a ornate black candle holder with a branch with red berries attached framed by your unique glowing background with beautiful shadows. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Comment from Brenda Curley


This is a lovely composition
with good focus and clarity.
The flame of the candle creates a warm glow emphasizing the distinct shadows and design of the ca holder. The red berries towards the background shows its shadows and creates another reflection upon the wall. Nice tone throughout.
Good shot.

A beautiful image and a very fine entry for this contest. I like the colors and the bokeh in the background. The shadows are very strong. Best of luck in the voting.

This still life is outstanding. The use of light is superb. The shadows are striking. The limitation of color is attractive. The photo is perfect focused, exposed and treated with mixed media. The addition of the twig with the red berries is appealing. The dark background emphasizes the arrangement excellently. The mixed media is expertly composed and framed. The composition is balanced.
