Alex_Birthday Cake

I took this photo in November when I visited my grandfather on his 85th birthday. I decided to choose this photo because I was scrolling through my photos on my camera and I came across this photo which I thought was interesting. I like this photo because everything around my grandfather's birthday cake was not visible because it was dark in the dining room. I like that the only thing lit up in the photo is the birthday cake itself, because it brings your attention to only a single object which is the cake and the candles. I like the glow of the candle light reflecting on the cake because it adds detail to the photo and you can see all the detailing and texture of the cake, and you can see some glossy reflections bounce off the left corner of the cake. I also like this photo because there are a variety of different colored candles which makes this photo less boring. I also like how the bluish part of the flames on the candles complement with the blue letter candles. I also like the point of view because the way I took this photo, the cake is not facing me in the front. I like how its backwards which makes a mirror effect. I also like how some of the candles have different size flames, which some flames are taller than each other. I also think the texture of the cake is important in this photo because it makes this photo appealing to look at, and the texture of the cake is almost in complete focus. The only thing I wish I could change in this photo would have to also have the candle flames in focus because they are not crisp. I took this photo on my Nikon D3200 camera without flash, using natural lighting from candle light, auto focus and fast aperture settings.
