 Used some extra candles (out of the frame) in the background to get better light. Used a small LED flashlight with a hand-made paper cone over the lights, and did some lightpaining to get the eerie blue smoke effect. Tweaked in Raw, then used some hue & sat adjustments, a slight rotation and some dodge to deepen and clean up the shadows, and a USM and NI pass. Some dust spot removal.

Wow, just noticed this came 35th at a 5.9 score?! The DPL really is doing strange things... Well done though, that picture deserved to do well :)

Very innovative photo. I think it would be even better without the severe angle. 8

Nice effect. I would have picked a different book of the Bible to support your title better.
