Good idea but I think a little faster exposure would have probably helped a little, seems TOO bright in the candle area. Still a good idea, good luck

Love this! The candles are hot but it really adds to it and helps the overall effect of the image. Not quite sure about the one tall red one but it really doesn't hurt the overall image. There is just enough light on the clothing to tell what it is but not too much to make it distracting. Good luck.

I like the placement in this image probably the best, very nice having it over to the left like that and not feeling the need to show the entire flame. Nice choice. Good luck.

Lovely image. Most have probably said there is no proof of the candle here but I really like the image. The lighting is a little hot on the left side of the blub but not a bother. I like that I can see some of the table grain, really nice. The simple white frame helps keep your eyes in the image and complements it nicely. Good luck.

Love the concept of this image and I think you pulled most of it off quite nicely. I like the lighting and can get an instant feel for what it is, even without looking at the title but there is something bothering me with the back of his head. I can't tell if that is part of his hat or what. Maybe less lighting there would help hide it, not sure. Great image all in all, good luck.

I like the red glow on the face but the candle appears to be a little out of focus, that could be just because of the exposure but not sure. Good luck.

Oops! Just Missed

finally an image that captured something too late and I'm on page 3 of the entries! Most would probably say it has to be sharper but this adds to the idea that you were hurrying and just missed it. Good job and good luck.

Nice original idea. One of only 3 that really captured the action too early. Great color and layout. Bravo.

At first when I saw your title I thought of the Too Late challenge thinking you were too late getting to the chair but then decided it could be Too Early since the camera clicked before you got there. Good job. One of the very very few that actually captured the spirit of the challenge and snapped the picture too early. Good lighting and setup, would have liked a little motion blur to make it really look like you were in a rush but still a good image. Good luck.

First one I've seen that actually followed the details of shooting the picture too early. Great job. I like the layout and action/motion in it. Good luck.
