20 candles

We do Elf on the Shelf at our house, her name is Sally. This shot was taken this weekend. I am sure you understand why 20 candles without having to post it.

The elf really has a menacing evil look. Like how you created a mood with the candles.

Fabulous set up, and capture. Light, shadow and exposure are beautiful.

Very nice! Cool concept shot.

But I don't understand the significance of the 20 candles

wonderful image kat - heartfelt.
MA - the 20 candles refer to the little ones that perished through violence in CT, USA last week.

Ah ... ok ... didn't realise it had risen to 20 from 18 so I didn't make the connection. That adds so much sentiment to this photo to know that.

Thanks everyone.

She can have that creepy feel to her. At first I was like..ugh..this is a scary elf but she grows on yah. I've actually managed to pull of a couple of cute shots of her. It's a great activity to do with young kids..they wake up every morning searching!

I really like the lighting the candles produce on the elf. That elf does have a bit of an evil look.

Beautiful light here Kat, and so thoughtful of you for the 20 candles in remembrance of the loved ones lost.
