Merry Orthodox Christmas to you and your family. I like this photo very much. The light management is excellent. I remember candles being lit in a similar manner at a church on Corfu.

Warm regards,

This is a wonderful photo. It shows the happiness of the parents and their love of their child, it would also fit very well in the category decisive moment. Above all it is a very well exposed photo which has captured the light of the candles shining on the persons' faces with perfect, warm colours. It is a technically superb photo with a heartwarming message.

kato (7086) 2013-06-15 9:56

Hello Sasha,

You're capturing well a wonderful moment by a good angle and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see the family in Orthodox Christmas. You catch well the strength and love of faith through this photograph. The light is managed well, and the focus has been equivalent to the center of candles and their face. And, it's impressive in the smile of mother and father, and the serious eyes of their child.

Kind regards,
mikio

Hi Sasha,
in spite of the weak light, you have reached a good quality in this difficult shot. The scene is vital, intimate, familial, and is full of religious symbolism.
I like the attitude of the child about the candles, and the smiles of her parents.
A nice work.
Best regards,
Josep
