Hi, I wish I would have commented during the voting, but I was too lazy. However, I just wanted to let you know that you got one of my two highest marks. I appreciate your photo and still think it was one of the best submitted. Congrats on a good job with the photo and the post processing. Post processing is what I need the most work on!

Sorry but I am not a fan of abstract work and this to me personally is just a big blurry mess and I voted it a 3.

Comment by bassbone:
the cropping does not help this photo - I would have either cropped even closer around Jefferson or would have brought it out so the foreground of the memorial was in view

Chanukah Lights

Comment by gg3rd:
It is amazing you were able to get a such sharp focus and lots of details of the candles. (I think it is a very difficult shot to do).
Other than that, there is not much grabbing the viewer attention. I, particularly, would like so see vibrant colours, but they are rather faded. Also, the image is a lot dark, in spite of the 9 lit candles - so it doesn't evoke much of a happy Festival of Lights, but a somber sad holiday. But maybe the biggest issue is that the image is "bi-dimensional": there is no depth on it: for example, it is hard to figure out which candle is the Shamesh (it seems to be the middle one, if one would know what to look for, which is not the case of most voters here at all) - I think I got this same problem with my entry, but mine the focus was not as good as yours...

I thought this was actually quite fun. The lines are a little wavy, but that's not a big deal. Plus-the light is red, which is what an editor writes in. I like your crop and I think this should've scored higher.

I guess it's just not much of a pattern... Or an interesting shot even. You say it's Chanukah candles... Why didn't you include the holder? That probably would have helped...
