Hi Sarah, BTW i love your avatar! Just on the catch up as i started late... was on the verge of do i or dont i, at the last minute i decided to jump hope it was the right way as right out of my comfort zone here!

Bliss.... There seems to be an underlying theme here with your Avatar
. Love this shot not only very well exposed but nicely composed. Great feeling of Peace after the deluge of Christmas..... Really like the cast of shadows on the wall and the candle flames are very uniform. love that little reflection pool of light of the flame in the wax. Nice touch of the dove of peace on the candle ties. Nice tight square crop works well and draws the focus right onto the subject. Really nice warm glow balancing the dark red burgundy coloured wine. Really like this, very warm cosy feel. Nice Shot!
Fragile..... Acutely sharp dof there Sarah which works very well with the subject, the small size of the flower head emphasises the "Fragile" element, nice choice of background colour which works well with the subtle whites and greens. Well shot!
All the best
Steve
