Lumiere de bougie

Comment by Imagineer:
Invitational Challenge Level: Experienced

Challenge link: medium, but more digital in its appearance than photographic. While I like the effect, it is an emulation of a painting style than a photographic representation of the subject through impressionistic technique (composition and subject).

Image critique: a good exposure and nice lighting, but difficult to assess since much of the integrity has been losty through the filtered effects and it seems that, to a large extent, you've missed the point here.

Out-of-challenge appeal: it's a sumptous, Christmasy vibe, but there's not much interest for me to revisit frequently.

Score: 6

Yeah! Finally I can give out a ten (I've seen about 400 submissions by now). You really got everything right to make the cam look like your head. The hands show all the emptions your hidden features can't. It looks as if you were desperately trying to get out of there. Lovely. Just one thing: You cropped about 25px too much from the bottom. I'd have liked to see the whole of your right hand. Nonetheless a great, powerful picture.

My vote for top 3. I am interested in how the original looked and the post processing you performed to achieve this look. 9
