Candle in Hand

I was passing some time, thinking about the holiday and how so much of winter celebrations center upon bringing light into the darkness of winter. I began playing with my iPhone and an LED candle. This was one of the images I came up with.

I continued to experiment by applying an effect recipe I saved in Nik Color Efex.

I don't normally like to do a lot of excessive post-processsing, but for this particular image I was having some fun with it.
