Hi Peter;
Lovely image. I love the way the light seems to be flickering in this still image. Congrats on the EP.
Missing you,

Thank you so much Carla. I made this image some time ago when we had been promised a major ice storm and these invariably leave us with a power outage. So we collected all the candles and placed them handy for quick lighting. Not that there would be much light from this motley collection but they would smell nice! I am not much into still life and macros but thought I would see what I could make of these and the interesting flames and the flickering you kindly mentioned.

Thank you too for commenting on my absence from the Phellos club. I will mail you with an explanation Carla. #9240043

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
