We had a still life evening at the camera club this evening and this is the first I processed

Well i like it, very moody scene but if i had to criticise i would like to have seen a better white balance with in the book i suppose

I quite like the WB here as it gives a warm glow to the whole thing.

The two things I would mention are the candle which is really strong, might have been better to combine two differently exposed shots to balance this out. The other is the glasses which are fine and well focused but I'd prefer them to be at more of an angle. In actual fact, if you had placed them angled with the armatures leading towards the candle, the lenses would have focused some light from the candle across the darker page, thus balancing out the light and allowing a slightly faster exposure to lessen the strength of the candle itself.

But all in all a good effort here. Still life is no easy genre, I am by no means a master of it that's for sure. Did you have any others from that evening to show us?

Cheers,
Rob
