Wonderful image, Chris. I love the crystal clarity of the cake and candles. The chap being a wee bit OOF works very nicely in contrast to the cake and candles. Very fine shot.

You can see the wee boy in him, aged 6, loving the magic of the moment. Well caught!

So clear its unreal chris! Very good compostion!

 

[Pete Askew]

Very nice Chris and I agree with Brian. The lighting from the candles is very well done, and I'm sure I can smell a whiff of chocolate!

Thanks chaps - I panicked a little when someone killed the room lights right as the cake was delved to the table with candles - but auto ISO saved the day!

Pete is spot-on with chocolate - the cake was a German chocolate creation from a Jewish deli - and I gave in and had a slice
