#78 - Multiple ideas, help me decide please...

Memol

I had several ideas in mind for this challenge. Among them were playing with candles, a fun decision maker, and the top lit palm trees in our neighborhood.

I cannot quite decide which one to submit and so would really appreciate any comments and feedback. Thanks.

1. Glowing Palm


2. Fighting Darkness Together


3. Losing Flame


4. Bright Decision (1)


5. Bright Decision (2)

These are all interesting shots, and it's hard for me to say which might be strongest for the current challenge. I lean toward #3 for its connection to the theme. (I wonder what it would look like with a bit more table showing in the lower left corner, if you cropped this and can tweak it.) I also like #5. Hope this is helpful!

I lean toward #3 too

Thanks for the comments.... Here is a second attempt at #3. Capturing a nice candle smoke and properly exposing it were more difficult than I thought!



BTW, I think other shots do fit the theme too. Specifically, you may think of 1 as "light at end of tree", 2 as helping each other to get "light at the end of darkness", 3 as "light at its end", and 4 and 5 as "light at end of pendulum".

I think this final one is the way to go....it seems better balanced than the other candle images! I really want to pick #2, because the mirror is quite interesting, but find the candles in the foreground to be too "visually clunky." Also like #5 quite a bit, but would appreciate a title that gives a hint of what the subject actually is.......

I agree that this final one (#6) is a great shot for this challenge!
