Greetings from the Critique Club

A very pleasant fantasy scene, well photographed. The out-of-scale candles fit in well because of the fantasy aspect. I very much like the blurred background; I have just a bit of a problem with the shadowy figures of the child and woman entering from the right. And in your very good stage setting, I wonder if you could find something to disguise the bases of the figurines. Perhaps some 'snow' would do the trick.

Anyhow, overall: good technicals and a nice whimsical approach to the Challenge .

Looks as if you are enjoying your experience with DPC.

Nice image. You have enough lighting to keep the detail in the candles and not blow them out yet still dark enough to have a nice image. good luck

Either the figures are tiny or the flames are huge. I look forward to seeing this later and finding out which.

Great idea for the theme though the candles and flames are a bit overwhelming for the little people.

Delightful! I love the shallow focus on the "main characters". THe candles seem a bit large for the scale of the people... perhaps using smaller candles to look more like street lights could have kept them more in scale. Very creative and well done!
