This is a sculpture I have that I took with just candlelight. In Photoshop Elements I painted in a black background on a separate layer. I then processed in Topaz Simplify buz sim. Levels were also adjusted. Cute, but kind of spooky, too!
Camera settings: Fujifilm S700, F/3.4, 1/4 sec., ISO 800, 6.3 mm focal length. No flash. Hand held.
