Chanukah Lights

Jeff,
This is a beautiful, evocative photo. I really love the colors in the candles, and think you did a very good job with composition (can be pretty difficult with this type of photo, I think). I have no idea how to do it myself, but IMO this would be even stronger with more color showing in the flames - they look a bit blown.
That aside, I think you've got a winner here in a different challenge. I also think this would sell well among both Jewish and non-Jewish audience.
BTW - I enjoyed reading about Chanukah, above. Thanks for sharing your traditions!

Bob,
Great shot and look at that strong finish! Congrats! I think you chose an interesting perspective on this shot and the patterns over each window combined with the overall pattern are very strong. Nice rich colors, too. Great job!

I like the perspective on this a lot, and the colors are rich and pattern lovely. I think a tighter crop might have bumped you even higher, as the detailed rock takes focus off snake.

I found this to be a very creative entry, and appreciate the message. I think the lighting could be stronger, but overall a provocative and interesting photo.

Cute. Has a bit of a snapshot feel, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Great title, too. :-)

I agree with juliboc that this was underrated. Thought it would finish above 6.5 and possibly in top 10. One of most creative entries in challenge, and great composition.

Beautiful cat, but he needs to be a little sharper IMO.
