| I like the concept - Santa's apprentice searching the globe. I'm not sure though that I believe the glow is from a candle. Just doesn't have (for me) the 'warmth' of candlelight. Unless it is very big candle. As I said though, except for the harsh glow, I like it. (Afterthought--- would like to see it without the dark shadow above the cap.) |

Love the concept of this image and I think you pulled most of it off quite nicely. I like the lighting and can get an instant feel for what it is, even without looking at the title but there is something bothering me with the back of his head. I can't tell if that is part of his hat or what. Maybe less lighting there would help hide it, not sure. Great image all in all, good luck.

| I think that I would prefer to see a little more of the face, to give the photo some point of focus. |

| I think I would have tried to focus more on the hat, but I understand the low-light difficulties and the resulting decisions. |

| I don't like the rear view, over the shoulder like. |

| This looks like it could be on a card, wish I could see the candlelight though. |

| Nice idea, but the candlelight is lacking, or should I say the candle. Had the candle been visible, I would have voted this a bit higher,but I voted this very low due to the cause of the light being any kind of low light source. Candlelight is hard to take shots of. I wish you would have shown us your try at the flame. |

| I really like the idea behind the composition but there are many elements that need improvement for this image to reach it's potential. First, I would have had the background be a solid black - so that the main subjects pop out more and visually attract the eye. The yellow/amber/white wall in the background does nothing to add strength to the seen. In fact, it detracts. Next, I would have liked the overall image to be sharper in all main objects present in the scene. Parts of the globe are slightly fuzzy including the man and the santa hat he wears. Greater sharper detail would improve this image. Including the candle in the shot would have been nice especially if it was one of the those festive holiday decorated candles or one that looks like a candy cane with the stripes for it would strengthen the connection to Santa imagery as well as the holiday spirit. Lastly, it would have been great if the viewer could see more of the red hue in the Santa hat - again it would further strengthen the ties to the Santa imagery. I know that the lumens drops off sharply the further away the subject is from the candle and placement, but by simply placing another candle behind the model and out of the picture frame would have illuminated the red of the Santa hat rather nicely. As I said, you have a great idea here compositionwise it is just the execution and details of the set-up that need improvement. |

| good result for the light and the colors. But I think that the photograph is not well balanced. I think that it is the mass black which is behind the person |
