Poll
Congratulations Reinardina.
I will do my best, hit with the Flu which seems to be dragging on and on, but hopefully I will come up with an idea for the coming week. Not sure whether I will get a shot organised time wise for this weeks comp though. Have a safe and good trip.
Thank you to those who voted for my shot :tup:
Having turned the cogs of grey, I was thinking upon shots 'with a natural frame' - I will put the threads up later, and aim to do the poll all being well.
Thanks H. It took me long enough to come up with something, but I managed in the end, and with results!

DICKENS

Morning all.
It seems Andy and I are joint winners, with four votes each.
Thank you to those who voted for me. My vote went to Andy's shot, as it was, in my opinion, the most Dickensian.
Andy, could you please do the honours, and organise the next competition? I'm going abroad for a week on Tuesday, so won't be able to set the poll, and as I'm quite busy with all sorts of things at the moment, I don't think I'll have time to participate.
Please let me know if this poses a problem.

Oh dear, sorry to hear you're under the weather.
I can probably come up with an idea, and set up the threads tomorrow, if you don't feel up to it, as long as you do the poll.
But being joint first (Congratulations, I forgot first time) I thought it might be better if it was 'your' thing altogether.

Cheers Howard.
I have to say stopping down to poor exposure levels (effectively limiting the sensors dynamic range) was intentional from an artistic approach rather than any technical aspect in work; An effort to achieve a soft dirty or earthy flat appearance in camera rather than toning down an image in post processing (which no doubt may annoy some).
Interestingly, and to my annoyance; I did however have to clone out an aspect of 'introduced bright light fringing' on the tip of the black candle wick, which I assume was a resulting aspect in relation to the Auto Focus operation (the down fall of systems relying on areas of contrast to obtain the desirable Focus).
