Comfort of Candles

Played around with some selective colorings (the candles are ivory) and added a little noise for some texture (?) which can be seen in the lighter ones. Does it work?

Copper:

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel
1/500s f/4.5 at 60.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

This is excellent,Karen. You did very well w/selective coloring. I would never have known these were ivory. I have to play w/ candles soon. Haven't done that yet!!

This is great Karen, looks awesome if viewed with the lights off, almost like having lit candles in the room.

Lovely expression Karen.

Beautiful light, Karen ...
I really like your comp!

This works for me too, but if I were to give one little piece of humble suggestion, it would be to clone out the one little flame in the lower right corner of the frame. The colors look great, and the scene is very Christmas-Like. Nice shot!
Guest 16-Nov-2004 04:16
The photo has a lovely sensibility, great warmth and comfort.
jude16-Nov-2004 04:12
I like the staggered look of the candles... nice grain and coloring
Gary Winters16-Nov-2004 04:07
Works for me! Reminds me I need a new candle lighter thingee. The long kind, you know? Anyway, I ramble. Good shot!

Definitely a comforting image.
Pepe Zyman16-Nov-2004 02:13
Excellent lighting control!
Guest 16-Nov-2004 02:02
Looks warm and romantic! And, again, we think alike. I added grain in my photo, today, too. Are you reading my mind again! Stop that!! LOL Nice shot Karen! I love film grain.
Guest 16-Nov-2004 01:49
it definitely works... very nice image
Guest 16-Nov-2004 01:46
Ohhh yes it does Karen, very well indeed.
Herb 16-Nov-2004 01:35

Guest 16-Nov-2004 01:20
Very Good! Does feel warm...

Very nice, Karen. I love the rows of candles. I had this idea for last night with candles, but it wasn't to be with the madness here.
Elaine (etfitz)16-Nov-2004 01:04
I would not have known they were ivory - great job!
Cheryl Hawkins16-Nov-2004 00:56
Well done, you created a wonderful mood with this shot.
Guest 16-Nov-2004 00:56
Nicely done, Karen. I like the way darkness is violated in this image.
Guest 16-Nov-2004 00:55
Works for me. Nice available light shot
