... or Brujeria (witchcraft)
This is an ancient recipe that I find in an old book:
First you'll need a large bowl filled with, as I'm without chickens, a good red wine. Then you need to play with the colours (as red for passion, gold for money, blue for nice, etc...), you put two light candles of the chosen colour in the bowl and put some flower petals for romance (you can also use pepper grains for a spicy romance). Then you make a circle with black candels and more petals for a strong love. At the end you'll need a personal object. After left the candles burn for an hour while chanting some magic words (I can't say them because "secret is the soul of business" (in portuguese sounds better), you put the personal item in the bowl let it rest for 5 minutes then let it dry and use it for the 5 following days, at the 6 day you'll find a man with the characteristics you have chosen...
----------

This photo isn't very good so... PLEASE I need some tips about how I can get it right...
About the compo I prefer the "half bowl" but don't ask me why...

Thanks for your visit,
Aida

Aida ,

nice colours and mood.
And in the sametime thanks a lot for this useful info :)) ...but I am thoughtful if this will help some of us to find our prince with his white horse ;) .
Good composition.
Well done.

stay well.

Hi Aida,
OK, I'll try your recipe and - if it works - I'll give you a critique about your photo... ;-)
Best regards,
Bea
PS: Hey, I'm just kidding! (I may try anyway, in a desperate moment... :-)) I like this lights effect. As for the compo, I would say keep 2/3 of the bowl visible (push one of the floating candles slightly to the left...:-)) and crop a bit more of the dark top, so that it becomes about 1/3 of the height of the photo.
But I'm a beginner, so... :-)

Olá Aida,
Bom contraste e cores nesta foto com uma textura agradável.
Quanto ao pormenor de "agarrar um homem"...se ele não vier de livre vontade, mais vale esquecer que ele existe. Eles são como os gatos; só querem a presença da femea quando muito bem lhes apetece e não abdicam da sua independencia/liberdade. As coisas forçadas tambem não vão a lado nenhum :)
OPC
Fica bem,
Lurdes

Hi Aida, fascinating composition with splendid light, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hi Aida,

Lovely shot, candles are a difficult subject, but you have done a great job. The mood is excellent, the light warm and the details and sharpness very good. I also find your note interesting.
TFS,
Vassilis

Olá Aida,

Wow I have learnt a magic from you; what how to capture a lady of your choice, please advice...... lol.

A beautiful image which is providing tones of natural hues. Fine composition in a nicely controlled luminosity. An excellent image my friend, well done.

Thanks for sharing this image.

P.S: Wish you get soon whatver you want in your life!

Olá Aida, did this trick worked finally? I believe you don't need those tricks, real life is much more simple... "...you have to give a little, loose a little, that's the story of love..." as an old song says! :)
Have a nice day
Sotiris
