Holland,MI(8) Photo

Photographer’s Note

An artist busy making a candle stand out of candle wax. Taken in Windmill Island. An exhibit as to how to make Candle and the store is filled with decorative candles made there. Each color layer is cooled and the size of the candle grows by dipping in additional layers of dyed molten wax. The end result is the multi layer and multi color wax stand and this lady was patiently carving the wax to finally reveal the colorful inside. I will post the final result of this candle later.

Rajesh, it is interesting to find a photo with "Dutch flavour" from the USA... But I guess that is why it is in Holland, MI.

As to the photo itself I find that it is a bit too busy and not focussed enough. The material to the left of the leftmost pole is messy, and the stuff behind the woman's back is not necessary. Given the tight crop you did on the woman, < her cap, her elbow > I suggest a tighter crop left and right too.

I did a WS to show what I mean
