Well,Start of a new year,and a fun challenge.
Look forward to seeing where this takes everyone,with all the different interpretations of the themes!
Good luck all-Hope you all enjoy the year!

Wow-Got real behind already!,will catch up ASAP.
(Been a fun couple of weeks-New car waiting to be picked up,Dealer phones to say they had a break in,and 13 cars damaged.. With mine they ripped the bumpers off,front lights ripped out (and wiring),jumped on bonnet and scratched the hell out of it....Vauxhall say will be two weeks delay now)
Anyway-With week 2 the image is umm.."Slightly carp",but when coupled with the poem,it is food for thought about our own lives compared to those of others.
Well-For me it is!
Thank you all for comments on the first-Now i just need to catch up to the rest of you :P


Week 1 "Curves"

Week 2 "Poetry"

Inside the darkness there shines a light,
A light that shines throughout the night,
And in that light there shines a hope,
A hope that helps all men to cope,
A hope for justice, hope for truth,
A hope for an eternal youth,
The hope that good will always win,
The hope that God forgives all sin,
This hope is what the whole world needs,
Because the hope becomes a seed,
A seed that grows into more light,
To illuminate the darkest night.​

Not really happy with this shot-But it's week one,and still seem to have plenty of excesses to recover from :nuts:

Week 1 "Curves"

I really like the detail on the curves and the candle, really nice.

The only thing I may have dont different is to try and either take the pic without the stand in or clone it out in PP to remove it so that it doesnt distract from the curves.

Great shot.
 
Great lighting and good composure. A nice start!

The only mild thing (for me) is the loss of edges between the candle and the stand. part of me things it adds atmosphere to the shot. Part of me thinks it looks odd.

Good start!

I wonder if a really soft light behind the candle would have provided a really nice glow around the candle edges and just given it a bit more definition? :shrug:

Like the composition though :clap:
 
the gap between the spiral support and the flame makes it look a bit disjointed
I guess it looked ok in the original but loses something when resized?

otherwise - I like it!:thumbs:
 
Hi Jason.

I really like this one, the lighting on the spiral has worked well and it definitely fits the curved theme.

Seems like I'm in a minority of one, but I even think that the disjointed, floating flame works well - adds a bit of atmosphere.

I'm not too keen on the base of the stand at the bottom of the shot though. Personally, I'd crop it just below the bottom of the spiral and clone out the remainder of the stand . . . then maybe extend the canvas at the top of the shot to give a bit more space above the flame.
 
I really like the floating effect of the flame.
I think I would have cropped the shot just before you got to the base but still a very good shot
 
Thank you for replies folk's :)
Had one with the candle lit from the side,but just couldnt get the lighting right due to buying a real short Off camera TTL lead from Jessops.
Certainly doesnt look quite how id imagined it would,~Maybe next time!
 
I have looked and looked again and I really think a little more space at the top and cut off the base as said previously by Sarah would make this a stunning image. Could it do with slight straightening to the right too? (I could be wrong on this one though) I usually am. I love the lighting just as it is by the way

I like the fact that the flame appears to float... it adds some interest for me. :)
 
I really like it. And the stand is curved too, so it works. :) :thumbs:
 
That's a lovely image until you get to the bottom. Clone or burn out the stand and leave the main stem floating into darkness and it's a winner :thumbs:
 
I agree about the lower part of the picture, but other than that I think that's a great image. I like the lighting on the curved part of the stand and the low angle :thumbs:
 
Very good as it is and would be fantastic without the stand :thumbs:.
 
Love the idea and chrome stand. I agree the lower part should be cropped out.

... and I vote for the floating flame, too.
:thumbs:

I love the understated lighting - it's very effective. The stand's a small niggle, but I can imagine it was a very difficult shot to light.

I look forward to seeing Week 2. :)

Nicely done Jason, I'm another one to vote for the floating candle. The curves of the stick work very well. I think the stand beneath isn't fitting with the shot though.
 
I like it as it is - stand and all. It is one of those rare photos that works composition-wise despite the subject being central in the frame!

Edited original post with week 2's effort.
Thank you all :)
 
Thankyou for posting... I'm sorry nobody spotted the update and commented. I hope the lack of input from others isn't the reason this thread's started to lag behind. DOn't give it up! :)
