The last candle

To see this photo in a larger size, click here.

For today's photo, I'm reaching back to last year when my nephew turned 8. It's a favorite of mine with the way the one candle illuminates his face, leaving everything else so dark.

This photo has been featured on this site before as part of a triptych, but this is the first time it's been featured alone. To me it has a different mood alone vs. part of a series.

I took this with my old point-and-shoot camera on automatic settings with the flash turned off.

I'm participating in Manic Monday today with the theme of Candle.
