I love the symmetry and the novel effect made by looking down on the candle.

6 - Met the Challenge quite well in my opinion - "Use candlelight to create the impact of your photo.". Criticism; unless the quality suffered, this at 640 would have been much better in my opinion. Assume those are reflections/refractions on each 'corner' of the candle holder and a long exposure causing the 'rays'. Seems 'almost' perfectly symmetrical, so well done. Not sure on the frame, especially 'color', doesn't enhance or add to the overall 'feel' to this shot, again, in my opinion.

I'm interested in what these items are that made these reflections like this. It looks like you made the most you could with only one candle.

Greetings,
Wow, Excellent DOF and color saturation, I have no idea what the latin translates to, but I'm assuming its the flowers name. The black frame on this works really well as a contrast to the color of the flower, good job!

Very powerful image. The emotion really flows from this.
I love the composition, the low angle, and the sunset. Everything comes together beautifully here.
My pick for the blue
