IN THE CANDLE LIGHT.(ISO 4000).

A candid portrait of an old woman who said ''we made it this year too...''...after midnight mass on Orthodox Easter Sat. The only illumination was candle light and very dim church light hence the high ISO valueI of 4000.( f4.5. 1/80).

Thanks.

very good light and angle...congrats.I also like the expression here...congrats

Well seen, well captured, fine compo, great expression, maybe oversaturated, I think..Good image produced in difficult light conditions.

Excente imagen de gran belleza, preciosa luz, color, magnifico encuadre, saludos cordiales Dimitris.

Excellent capture, great composition and a fine portrait. It could perhaps benefit from desaturating the reds though - they seem too strong and catch my eye too much away from the image. Regards, erik

Thanks for your help...how is this?...more perhaps?

Hi, I think your second one is better. What do others think?

Wow. I think it shows a lot of character. Very good candid.

Geat! Best regards, Ilkka

I am truly obliged for your help..

Nice image. I agree with the desaturation of the reds. I would go further with the desaturation of the reds in her eye, since it is a quirk of the lighting that created that effect. Very nicely done. David

What a beautiful lady and beautiful image, well done!

Very intense and suggestive candid portrait! I agree with a little desaturation of red on the eyes, anyway its a very good shoot Dimitris!

Very nice candle light shot. To me, the second version is better. Best regards.

Thank you very much for your suggestions, I have uploaded yet another version closer to the consensus of opinion.

Yep, that's the one!

Many thanks Erik!!! I will repost it some times in the future.

Beautiful shot with great textures. - Charles

Very interesting capture! Wonderful use of background's light!...Ciaomau!

Beautiful and lovely capture, the D3 works great in low lighting, 10/10.

Your 300 has the same capability...I tried it and I was very impressed.

My thanks to all of you dear friends for your, comments and rates.

Superb capture, Dimitris. Lovely and tender scene with a delight of colors, light, DOF and atmosphere. Excellent shot!

 

PS.- The 3rd version is my favorite. Regards!
