@pamknowler @taffy @888rachel @jgpittenger @golftragic Perhaps just move swiftly past this....

You are very harsh on yourself Ms Newbank!

[Pam Knowler]

I love the way you have caught the smoke Ruth. Maybe if you placed the candle with a dark background it would show up even more!! Well done for trying the flash - keep practicing and you will be surprised what a difference it can make to a shot - see my flowers taken yesterday with flash even in a breeze!! It can freeze the action.

@pamknowler thanks will do. Tired and grumpy. Lacking on the sleep front this week with poorly kids.

Great b&w shot, details, composition

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

This is such a realistic picture I've spent ages trying to blow it out, super capture and hope tiddler is feeling better.

[Wylie]

interesting smoke patterns.

[Rachel]

Really lovely smoke patterns. I think the dark plain background sounds like a good idea. I hope you get time to try it again.

[Irene]

Great smoke patterns and the differing shades of grey/black in the background. Hope littlest feels. Better soon

[Stephanie Swift]

Love the pov and dof in this, also the processing, fav.

[Ukandie!]

Love the smoke patterns.

[Margaret Obey]

Well done you. Hope little one's feeling better soon.

[Marnie]

Great effort with the smoke. A dark background should work wonders here. Hope you and yours feel better soon. Tired and grumpy doesn't help creative thinking one scrap.
