I love this parallel of diagonals, her arm and the bridge. A wonderful demonstration of careful exposure, as the lighting of the background and the foreground is perfect. I like how you metered for the foreground image and capture the candle glow on her shirt as well as the slight rim light off her hair from the bridge lamps above. The lights of the city skyline and the twilight glow are perfect as background.

As seen in Last 7 days of Interestingness.

Insanely fantastic exposure! One technical nerd question thought: where did the light on the top of her arm come from? A street lamp?

thanks for the feedback. to answer the technical questions, there is a streetlamp to the above left of the person, illuminating her hair/arm. other than that only the candles provided additional light. no flash was used here. i just happened to shoot it at the time when foreground and background (sky) lighting were nicely balanced.

This picture is simply amazing in so many ways. The perfect framing, the complimenting lighting, the contrasting background, the sex appeal, and that it's all for a good cause. Wow. Stunning.

You are invited to add this picture to the Views 200 group, and move it up the ranks as your views increase. Well done on making Explore! This is well deserved.
