Evaluate my Photo

I am not a photographers ahole, no idea how I took this but i want to do it again, better next time as I like the look and have it enlarged.

Taken with a Canon Ixus 750

It appears to me that the flash either did not fire or was not switched on. As such it's an available light shot.

It's just a bit too dark for my taste but I can see why you like it.

Don't despair.

As The Vulcan says the shot was natural light and considering the long exposure 1/8th F3.5 it is very good.

A little tweak of the exposure on the computer produced this.

The grain gives is a special texture, which I like.

With flash you would have lost that.

Exactly, I did not want the flash exposure, I wanted the light from a fire reflecting on his face....the thing is he cannot sit still and I do not know how it came out so steady at such a quick shot....I have no real idea what the camera setting was on, but it caught it just right.

I have another similar shot from a fireside on the mountain top near Burma.
