For what it's worth, I prefer the outtake. I like the pose more, and the way the ripples play with the light. Whilst the flare of the candles on the entry is pretty, I also quite like the softer, more defined flame on the outtake. I can live with the noise.....but that's no real endorsement as I've been told I could do with less noise in my own pictures!
I gave this a middling score; the outtake might have had an extra point. |
