Here's my best effort, but I know it's not good. I'm afraid this WA defeated me.


Anyway, it's a pretty image, and maybe someone will like it.

C&C welcome.....but be gentle.

The tapestry is beautiful as it looks as though it is flowing out from the candle. Very appealing colors. Nice lighting and reflections.

Bev, you are too kind. I'm trying not to think about this WA!
I'm ready to move on to the next one.

Thanks for looking, my friend!

Good composition, Philly. :-)
I think this shot might have been helped by a much longer depth of field.
(but I'm certainly no expert at long exposures! ... or anything else.)

Philly,

The reflections in the glass from your lighting are great.

At least you posted! I wasn't thrilled with what I ended up with so I didn't bother posting my work. I think sometimes we get too close to what we are doing to see what we have created.

Hello Philly ,
I really like this shot. The colors compliment each other very nicely. The long exposure needed for this natural low light shot makes it a perfect WA. Well done.

Nick! You've got to be kidding me! I think it's so awful I was afraid (read 'embarrassed) to post it but I'd killed 2 batteries trying other failed ideas, and this was all I had to offer.

You are THE nicest friend, and I sure appreciate enthusiastic your comments!!

Hi Brian!
Thanks so much! "At least I posted,' is right. I came mighty close to sitting this one out, so thank you for the kind words!

Hi Carrol!
Thanks so much for looking and your comments. I don't know much about long exposures either, (which is obvious, huh? )

I'm going to try and forget this week, and look forward to the next assignment!
