The Noctilux shot is nice too, the out-of-focus candles in the foreground give a pleasing effect. The girl could be sharper, but I realize that shooting at f1 on 1600 film with slow shutter speed is not so easy. I also have a comment on your accompanying text. You write (regarding the Noctilux shot) that you do not think it is a good picture. I think you should let the viewers make that determination. If you really do not think a particular picture is not good, then do not put it on the web (unless you intend it as an illustration of some technique in the context of a tutorial). If you do put a picture on the web, then you should not make excuses for it--and in this case none are needed.
