The Mysterious Candle
This photo is blurred. It has bad lighting. But to me, it's like it has charisma despite these technicalities.
Is it the burnt wick. Is it the flowers in the back. Is it the limp lighting of the room. Is it the little candle standing as tall as he can despite his melted disfigurements. I don't know.
A photograph is great when it can do something for you. Bring a smile, remind you of friends, get you thinking about things. And honestly, I can't pinpoint what this one is doing for me... but oddly enough, I think it's great.
I can't see those flowers very clearly but I still know they're pretty :)

The photo imparts some good feeling Lea. I know what you mean by the photo being blurred, but after seeing some really great photos that are not crystal clear, I've come to the conclusion (for myself) that it isn't always about the clarity of an image. To me, good art produces a feeling when a person experiences it. This has done it - for me anyway.
