I was trying to photograph these two diyas without spilling anything. I liked the way the flames lit them up, with everything else falling into darkness. I pushed the contrast to make the most of that light and keep the rest of the frame quiet. I thought it looked pretty cool for a shot where half the challenge was keeping everything upright.
