    The stacking worked well. A vertical would have been nice. This still works very well. I can see why it's called candlesnuff.

    Nice image. well stacked. They look like moose antlers. Looks almost monochromatic. I wonder if this would be better in B&W as there is enough tonal gradation.

    Thanks Ravi, I think that's a good idea. I have become a bit single tracked and it had not occurred to me.

    The tonal range and clarity is off the charts IMHO. TFS

    I like it as presented, Jon. Quite dramatic - almost surreal - and well exposed. Wondering what it would look like with more space on the right side of the frame
