This isn't the most exciting shot in the world, but it is an appealing "pearfect" one. Good one Shirley.

Just a quick thank you for all the nice comments.

Lovely photo. The title really adds to the photo.

Lovely photo. It stands on its own. If you shoot that with a tripod setup, you can stop down one shot to get more of the flames colors and then composite that with your other exposure. I like the background just the way it is.

Yes I was to lazy to go get the tripod out of the trunk! How did you know that! ;o)

No, i mean the posterisation/pixellation of the background and in the shadow on the pear. It makes for a very interesting and worthwhile effect.
Flick.

I don't know if it would show in a print but it might. It was a black shirt of Marvs that I used to place the candle on and as the backdrop. I had the candle on the dining table with the chandalier full on to help light the scene. It was that tungsten lighting hitting the black material that gave it this funny brownish tone which shows mostly on the flat bottom. You think maybe Flick?

the posterisation of the background has already added interesting texture, though I don't know how visible it would be in a print.
Flick.

I like that idea very much Brent. I'm just not sure how I would get the seam out from the piece of wood/stucco it was sitting on and then the one behind the candle? I'm not that handy dandy with Photoshop to get it so it wouldn't show I don't think? I'll sure try it though, I like the "suggestion" ;o)

The texture and shape of the candle is very pleasing. I like the soft blackness of the ground. It seems like a bit of texture in the background (stucco - old wood?) might raise the interest level a bit. Thanks - brent

Very elegant.

Shirly, this is so much more dramatic, great job.

Shirley, go for the exchange:)
Shirley Haden27-Feb-2006 06:06
Yes I think you're right! Do you suppose I could get by with exchanging it? LOL I might! And I have to find out how to border it because the black seems to not go well with the charcoal grey to me.

very nice, would having a black background all around the candle be more dramatic?
