Nature Christmas candle

Vitzthumb · 12-27-2014, 03:45 AM

My favorite image from a series I shot this Christmas. The tree this year had real candles on it! I like the effect of high ISO speed on this one, and when viewed at a high resolution (am I allowed to post a link to a higher res version here?) the texture looks very atmospheric. I also like how the edges fall away into shadow, and how the needles look like they're cradling the candle.

Comments/critique?

Maybe crop out the lower flame or re-touch it out?. It's a bit distracting.
