Harsh lighting and having the subject so centered made me grade this low, I do like how you met the challenge though!

Nice shot but too soft IMHO. Try to sharpen your image.

Good concept, so you get some bonus for that. But this shot is blurry.

Could use clearer focus.

The dog looks a little out of focus.

It's a nice shape, but the centered composition isn't grabbing me. Also, it's not especially sharp. Did you take this without a tripod? Or maybe the autofocus went to the flame, and since it was dark, the wide aperture meant nothing else was sharp?

Outside of the challenge, I think this could be a really nice shot. Try retaking it with the candle over on the left, using a tripod, and shutting the aperture down some to get everything sharp.

Nice idea for the challenge, but I think this could perhaps be a better photograph from the technical side if the candle were not so rotated and if it was more in focus. The lens flare is also a tad distracting.

You could have entered this in the reflection challenge-great job.
