Comment by snaffles:
good attempt and three very strong design elements. But not one of them dominates, the look is just cluttered.

This is one of those difficult shots where to get good light levels on the candle, you end up under-exposing everything else. Or, as is your approach, blowing out the candle (pardon the pun) to adequately light everything else. Might have worked better if you used a low-level background fill to better illuminate the trees so you could bring down the exposure a bit on the candle.

A well applied different take on the topic. I wish it was sharper, but that's subjective. 6

Hi Kimberly
this is a lovely scene - would like to go hiking there at once! I also like the snow frosting ;-)
Unfortunately this one seems a little bit out of focus, might be an effect of resizing. So the other one was the better choice
