Got 8 candles for it (it's always good to have a spare).

It's amazing the amount of time that these things take to burn, specially if you want them to burn fast!! I had to aid them with the extra candle, to get them almost to the end.

I arranged them on top of a plexiglass, used coloured paper for bottom and back, and a flash aiming at the ceiling, to try and avoid the shadows.

Interesting idea, but I fing the melted wax drips to bee distracting, I would have liked to see a smooth or reflective base.

One of my favorite for the challenge... The idea is great. Maybe a bit noisy...

Fantastic image and perfect for this challenge. This is exposed perfectly, which is not easy to do with flames! I also love the rich tones and of course the concept.
Personally, I don't like the splotches of wax on the table. I get why it was done, in order to show the decrease in stature of the candles, but to me it is distracting. Because that is personal preference though, I won't deduct anything from the score. I will not be surprised at all to see this pretty high up top. 8

Awesome! Very creative and well executed, although I think it's a little oversaturated. Fabulous smoke.

Nice shot, I am wondering if setting up on a diagonal would not have given a more dynamic picture...
