My lad has always been facinated by fire, and would enjoy lighting candles in the fireplace at every opportunity. Good opportunity for me to enter a picture in the contest. Hope you like it.

As far as I understand this is the essence of 'Chiaroscuro'
or in other words the 'Rembrandt lighting'
I think you did a great job, it is a pleasure for the eyes !
Good luck, John !
Wow John...the lighting in this shot is absolutely beautiful. I love the way the candlelight shines on your little boys face...he looks like an angel. It has a beautiful glow to it. Soft and tender.

If you have a talent, use it in every which way possible. Don't hoard it. Don't dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly, like a millionaire intent on going broke
Whatever it means and whatever are the aims - you win, dear friend.
There is nothing that breaks a woman's heart like a child or a puppy LOL
Or anything small and innocent like the the face of a child for that matter. HOWGH.
So far, my favorite entry in the contest by a wide margin. You've captured (in my opinion) the object of the contest.. and theme in general. Well done, and good luck!
Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.
John, I agree with Rob. I think you have an outstanding composition and your entry fills the theme of the contest completely. Best wishes and good luck!
I think this is a very very nice shot indeed. I really do like the way the light is reflecting off his face. Beautiful. Congratulations on your result xx
