[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 337044, member: 24753"] I like Bob's added explanation because I think it helps the rest if us see what was going on and we can learn and pick up stuff. So, I'll add some info on the image I posted. I first thought about using a candle to light a small flower, with the flame off to the side. In the process of looking for the right candle, found a mostly used dark red poured wax candle in a tapered glass about 3" high (borrowed from the neighbor). The [URL="http://nikonites.com/weekly-photo-challenges/24343-weekly-challenge-july-23-30-fire-2.html#post336497"]image posted[/URL] is that candle laid on it's side with a daylight as back light to light the rim. The cave-like look is where the candle had already melted down into the wax. Vignette added to black out the background and a little canvas top and bottom to balance the circle of fire in the center of darkness. [/QUOTE]
