Clever.Upper left has an odd shadow of some kind. Minor, it's really creative.

I like the blue tone of the metal on the left wing, but underneath it appears so dark that I'm not sure what it is. Because it is so dark it only really adds as a distraction. The right wing has also disappeared at the bottom. The subject is an interesting one, and the area that is lit by the candle is good. Looking at the reflection on the votive I'm wondering if this was lit by a computer monitor hence the blue glow. A few things you could try - use another two candles on the left and right either behind or off to the sides of the holder to illuminate the wings and below. If you were going specifically for the blue glow, which I dont blame you as I like it, you could try two (or even one) small flashlight with blue cellophane or a gel on it. It's a good shot, but I think if you play around with it you can get some really great images from it.

nice lightning. But you could have improved it with just a little bit reflection from right to brig out right wing.

great exposure, I would have liked a little fill on the right side to see the wing.

Neat lighting with the blue at the base. I like this, like it's not crowded.

Interesting visual, but fails to convey the sense of smell. (4)
