I went to the local church yesterday to see what I could find.
What do you think.

Hi Chris,
Blue and gold - one of my favourite combinations! A very nice shot with great colour and tones!

Do you have photoshop or paintshop pro (or another photo manipulation program)? I think if you darkened and maybe blurred the bright upper right corner, it would strengthen the composition and put even more focus on the lit candles. A careful boost in the 'yellows 2' channel saturation could really make this pop.

To take this in another direction, an interesting composition could come from closely cropping to include just the first four candles (with their flames) and use the clone stamp tool to eliminate all other distractions. Or maybe just the first three, depending on the amount of negative space that's left in the upper right corner from the crop.

Lots of good stuff going on here, with lots of possibilities Smilie_PDT

Love it - wonderful image Smilie_PDT
John
