This is another image made in Bologna. Here, I responded to the mix of warm candle light and the cooler ambient lighting of the church, as well as the iconography, in particular, the contrast between the old and the new. The scene is somewhat mysterious, at least to me, which I like in a photograph. I sat on this photo for a long time because there was a distracting reflection of the candles in the glass that kind of ruined the impact of the image. Finally, I did the required work in Photoshop, as this really isn't intended to be a purely documentary photograph. I'm much happier with the result.
