Description
warm skin by ziyanI really didnt want to go retro for this piece, i hope that explains the placement of the object. I wanted to direct the viewing across the black background until it reaches the main objects (hand and candle).
I wanted to emphasise the black background against the main objects.
The light from the candle represent the various holds that we all have on our lives. Things such as dreams, responsibilities, goals, family, loved ones and the many things that we would do die for to attain them.
The hand represents the efforts, sacrifices, hopes that we put in to protect the lights from "dying".
The black background symbolise the unknown, fear, uncertainty that may come from different directions in the surroundings.
Question: what would we do to protect our "lights" from dying out..?
I hope you will enjoy this humble piece of mine.. as much as i did while taking the macro shot of her..

i like it its a great picture... my only comment is... but what if one were to hold back the candle/flame from others... then they cannot share their life with them and vice versa.. so to me it looks like its holding back from others so that they cannot have their own lighted path of dreams and hopes and whatnot... i love what you said though, it just takes photography a step deeper.

The pattern on the hands is neat, especially how there is texture up close, then it goes to looking smooth farther away. Beautiful. BTW, I'm just now getting through a lot of you Deviations, so expect a lot of comments.

and i want to visit a vigil
where all hands are bound as one
and a circle unites every soul
a shape to be broken by none
sincerity of skintone
dissipates in candle light
while the soul of one lost child
struggles to feed off of this empowering light.

very very expressive! great contrast with the background, crop works perfectly.
and i really enjoy the concept. so...
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Wow, very nice shot, it would still be very expressive even w/out your description as when i first saw this, almost everything you said came to my mind beforehand, also as they say, a pic says thousand words. Perhaps a better and more fitting title would be appropriate for this? But apart from that, nice lighting and composition, with everything off center and a black bg to help the eyes focus on the hands and candle more, lovely idea and concept. This is definitely one of your best photos i've seen. Well done. Welcome to my favs collection as well.

teach you while i can? you make it sound like im dying or something hehehe... 
nah, im just giving my worthless 2 cents wherever i see fit in the hopes to help improve a piece thats all, by far a teacher.
Regarding your question...
Question: what would we do to protect our "lights" from dying out..?
You cant protect it from dying out, but you can help keep it burning while you can. It will die sooner or later and thats when we'll learn to move on whether we like it or not. Well thats life for ya...in my eyes at least.
