Took a while to setup up and arrange the candles and everything. There will probably be a lot of good candle shots in this challenge, so I'm not expecting an overly high score. I did make use of the Advanced editing rules and did some dodging and burning in places, mainly to enhance the candle reflections on the Bible. Hardest part was trying to remain still for 1 sec.
I'm happy with the shot, even though I really sure I could do better. Portraits are not really my forte.

clever take on your light source. The wide angle shot has a lot of barrel distortion here though and the highlights are blown in the candles in the foreground.
Personally, I don't think candles count as 'natural light' - they're still a lighting device, IMHO, so this is a DNMC for me. I'll give you a few points for execution...
Dude I dont think candle light is natural light. Prolly getting killed on the voting. Sorry about that. I typically try to stay away from DNMC or low scores but...
