Thanks Brian, I hope you had a great holiday. I shall have another go.

Just remembered where you are Brian - hope Florence doesn't cause you any serious problems.

You will enhance the beauty of an object/person/scene by a low exposure and increasing the contrast for a dark and moody look while still maintaining most tones in the histogram below 128 with only very few above. The low exposure will give you dark areas and few light details and lines can bring out lots of texture in the surfaces. You will use this style to produce an image that carries stronger emotions than a normal exposed copy of it would possess. Please try again. Cheers... Brian

I accept but disagree; the gaudy colours of the season are muted by darkness and accented from the depressive with tiny bright accents, half remembered in nostalgia, to lift the spirit, which is the point of these mid winter festivals.   

once more with feeling...
