Very good choice of background...enhances the sensuality of the picture.

I sure hope everyone who votes on this photo takes the time to let the page load fully. From the thumbnail I was thinking "1", then afer looking at the expanded view I discovered why it is so dark. This is a very good "available light" photo. It is quite clear and it is easy to distinguish what the separate opbjects are. The darkness of the photo almost lends it an almost sinister feel rather than and older feel. Still I think this is very good. I know how difficult it is to get a good clear shot with no lights. =7 syamjonimi

I know this is supposed to be dark, but how about burning the candle down half way. The glasses are "out of place/time". Your setting seems to be turn of the century (1900, not 2000), but the glasses are very current. Plus the reflection on the lens probably isn't a good thing. 6 Swash

Good compositional idea. A bit underexposed. Out-of-period glasses.

Comment by floyd:
Lovely idea but waaay too dark. A gentle light from a bulb is really needed to be able to see the glasses and book properly without over exposing the flame. Very very difficult shot to get right - well done for attempting it.

what's old? the time when people actually read by candlelight? for a composed scene, pretty good. the reflection in the glasses redeems the darkness somewhat, and actually it is quite realistic

I like the photo, and the composition, but it is just a little too dark for me (or on my monitor). lhall
