This stands out. Looking close for a while I really like the shadow of the cross. I think though the hands should have been sharper than the text of the Bible. The reflection of the candle light also is a little distracting. In fact, I wonder if this image would have worked equally as well with no candle in the image and rather it lit from that side.

Nice image. Shadow of the cross adds a very nice touch. Soft focus cost you a point.

Excellent lighting. Perfect subject. Good use of shadow.

The setup and composition is fine but you need a better lightning. Seems like you are exposing for a long time and only using the candlelight or at least very litle extra lightning. Think if you would have used a litle extra light from the same direction as the candle you could have used shorter exposure and therby avoid the strange flair of around the candelight. The color of the light seems a litle strange, blueish and also the hands get litle unsharp. Continue experimenting.

I can't see I see any strength in this picture. Sorry. It is a picture of a book. If the challenge would have been "funny" or "humour", do you think a picture of a Denis Leary DVD or a book by P.G Wodehouse would have done well?

Great atmosphere! What other lights, beside the candle did you use?
