I think candlelight is so, so nice. I plan to continue exploring different types of images using it. And Chanukah provides an annual reminder to do so!

If you'd like to learn more about Chanukah, check my comments on my earlier shot:

This is a lovely b/w conversion, Jeffrey. I didn't even know you were entering it, but still didn't vote, as I didn't get around to voting this challenge. LOL. Anyway - lots of stuff to like in this photo - excellent lighting with emphasis on the candles and not the face, a sense of mystery, a message. The one thing that doesn't quite work for me is the composition. The candles almost form a horizon across the center of the photo which makes it look a bit square to me. But still a lovely photo and most worthy entry!

I can't believe someone didn't see the 6 candles lol. I love how sometimes you include symbols from your religion into your work. I don't know much about the Jewish faith, but I have learned a few things from looking at your work. Great lighting (from all 6 candles heeee), and love the moment.

Nice tones in this shot, with black and white being a very effective choice.
