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.

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.
