Reflection

Another candle picture.

I had a messy incident involving hot wax as a result of this picture, but I like this picture, so maybe it was worth it.

I hope everyone is having a good week!

* to all the folks in the US: Happy Thanksgiving to you!

Completely agree with Livia. One of your best compositions I think, Laura. Great work.
