four candles, take two by helenhall

four candles, take two

Here is the sad truth. Not long after posting Four Candles a week ago today in order to stop me from playing any more with the image when I should have been working, I had to go back to the image to add some flames to the candles. I then wished I had posted that version but so many of you kind people had already commented I didn't dare change it.

Now I am left with my improved version and nothing to do with it. so I am using up a whole new day to post it again. Still, it gives you all a day off from commenting. I will be back again tomorrow with something new.

here is the original (with a link to the infamous sketch) if you happened to miss it:

the difference is small, but keeps me happy!

I appreciate every comment I receive but don't always get a chance to reply individually, or even as a group. I could spend all day ... but it would not be in the best interests of my family and other commitments. I will certainly aim never to take any of your time and attention for granted as I attempt to edge my photography forward slowly but surely.
I like this one better, nice job on the editing - you can move on now (I think).

Better than ever...fav. I'm fine thank you, just no photos lately :)

I saw the difference yes..I completely understand you...

I like this; very imaginative & colourful. Could you put a flame on the forks too?

I love this version too. I know what you mean about preferring a second version. sometimes when I have edited a photo I ask David which he prefers and sometimes I post the version he thought best and then think I should have posted the other one, ha ha.

I'm all for having fun and giving all your ideas a go. I like them both.

Well, since I didn't see the original to comment, I get a whole new experience. I like this image a lot! I like the texture created by the reflections. Yay creativity!

Ah! I see what you've done. This version is definitely more satisfying and the Two Ronnies joke stronger

Fav! Super comp

Well worth the extra time - and I do so agree with your comments about time spent!
August 12th, 2016  
Fantastic!

Very nice version Helen, I do like the flames! I'm glad you got it to a point that pleased you so much. I know sometimes I post and wish I had done further work on it, so I do understand....
