Rembrandt-like light and vigorous framing. Both heads emphasized via contrast with their backgrounds. The candles rendered beautifully. Like

And the noise is well controlled for ISO 12800!

Nice one John, Rembrandt indeed, or perhaps Caravaggio?.
What in heaven's name is a Thurifer?

Only when you tell me who Caravaggi is

Andy, I had just said to Barrie the night before that I had seen nothing from the K1 to convince me to upgrade. I got the Sigma 18-35 F1.8 instead, which was mainly funded by the money I had received for the photos taken from my DLI blog.
Go4IT, I can't take any credit for the lighting or the lack of it.

This shot has something special about it, I can't put my finger on it, it just does.
