This photo was done in very low light. I pointed a lamp to a yellow cardboard on the right side to create this yellow tint. The overall reddish colour comes from (intentionally!) leaving my camera in "night" white balance mode. I didn't use a tripod, that's why the photo is quite unsharp but I think it does no harm for this kind of photo.

Thanks for your comments. I left a post in the forum, because I would like to discuss it more here: //www.dpchallenge.com/forum.asp?action=read&FORUM_POST_ID=26547
excellent work with the lighting :) I love the soft yellow glow on this photo... I would like to see the fruits play a little more prominent role in the image... good work :) = 7 - jmsetzler
Nice lighting and the colour ties everything together. I think the arrangement of the objects bay have been stronger, or maybe better if they were limited... just a thought!
hm. i'm not sure what to make of your photo. so let me start with the things i like. the lighting is very nice, i like all the warm tones, and the black background is great, too. the candle is the brightest object in the photo, and therefore to me the main object, not the fruit. and i don't think i'm quite getting the reason for why you put the objects into the photo that you did, but that is probably just me. so, technically a good photo, you would've scored higher though if the fruit was more of the central object in my opinion. -- gr8photos (5)
Quite the array of stuff in this picture - not sure how it's all related. Guess the photo title is the clue? Nice focus and color on the items in front. Some may say the background is a little dark, but I think it works well enough in this photo.
Way to many inrelated elements (sorry, if this is a collection of some religious ceremonial significance)ad they crowd the boarders. Lose the sea shell, he doesn't belong and he;s too bright, leave the brightness off the the candle/ Try to make it look like the really is candle is the only light source which means fix the lighting on that nut or fig. ANd give the sculpture things room to breathe at the top. It doesn't contribute to the composition to have them cut off.
Really neat shot, but it's so very dark. The brass item has lost much of it's detail, esp. in the center of the circle, same for the statue figurine, and the item on the far right of the candle is ...what? 7 Swash
