This was somewhat last minute. I got the idea for it at sunset on the day of the submission deadline. Then I had to convince my dad to go out to the storm cellar with me. About 20 RAW files later, I came back to edit. I did most of the editing in photoshop's RAW editor, then went to submit the file with an hour left til the deadline. I then noticed it was advanced editing, and not basic. So I went back to do a little spot editing here and there, and there you have it.

I generally like the look. It may be a little too bright for a candle lit shot (and a title of "Fighting Darkness"). Also, it isn't quite sharp (I assume because of a long open shutter).

I dont mind a mood being set by some graininess, but here it just looks like the noise is from under-exposure. I like the setting and the composition. The color tones are just not saturated enough - or the contrast too low to really bring out the shadows and details

I like the composition and use of candlelight. It would be nice to see a bit more of what's in the shadow on the right.
