DROP FOCUS TECHNIQUE
for the picture i used studio lighting which was continuous light and a small LED torch light to create a slightly cold winter feeling to it. I edited it in Photoshop to make the colours more vivid and also put a candle flame on to it as the original image was not lit.
drop focus technique is usually taken with a large format camera where the lens can be tilted to get the desired effect, here its been taken with a DSLR and from an oblique angle to achieve the same effect. with drop focus there is also just a small band of focus which normally lies on the object where you eye would naturally fall.
this is my example of the technique.

below is the original unedited image along with the image where i got the candle flame from.
this is the image which i took the candle flame from.
the image temp was warm up to maximum as initially it was a white candle, this was done to achieve the red glow in the flame.
this is the original image which later has had the temp increased in Lightroom from 3900 to 7500 and the light fill increased from 0 to 34.
