Ancient and present gestures

Please, if You like it or not, comment, and say to me why! Thanks.

I like it. I like the lighting and rich, deep colors first and second, the fine detail of the hand (nice). I also like that all the candles aren't yet lit because it allows me to feel like I'm visiting and almost able to participate since the moment of viewing gives my mind time to anticipate the lighting of the remaining wicks. The only minor distraction comes from the background hearth as I wait for the other candles to be lit. ~Sky

Thank You very much, Sky!

hard to take but you succeeded 100% - congrats!!

Thanks, Andrea!

You did great with the lighting that you had for the shot. I would have failed miserably!

Well-exposed shot. The ring on finger accentuates composition.

Buona idea e bella realizzazione. Ottima atmosfera realistica. Brava!
