White Lady by Candlelight

I love to shoot subjects in soft light. I hope this one has turned out OK.

Hi david, .. you've got excellent idea to catch this statuette with idealised shapes in this way, .. I mean putting stress not only on it but also on its shadows; .. it calls attention as it's shot with "real" model . Well lit and coloured. However I'de give smaller part to the candle.
regards,

It is lovely David, the candle gives such a lovely warm light, did you use any other form of lighting ?

Maria, there was some dim ambient lighting in the room, without this I think the shadows cast by the candle would have been too harsh. I did make an error though - I think I shot this with the wrong lens. My SMC Takumar 135 F3.5 would have produced a better result as it is sharper and has better out-of-focus effects than the 55-300mm.
Thank you for your comment and to everyone else that has commented on this picture.

This is a really stylish shot. I like the nice lights and fine shadows.

Love it but, the Christmas candle somewhat reduces the seriousness of the shot. Plain candle would have been better I feel. How's that for being fussy?

I thought the christmas candle would add a seasonal feel to the shot - however I tend to agree having read your comment. Thanks very much for taking the trouble to add your thoughts.
