very nice photo. one thought would be seeing how having the negative space above the candles instead of below would look.

Great lighting and ambience to this shot. I also like the composition and technical quality of this shot - it's very tidy.

*Critique Club*

FIRST IMPRESSION: Good abstract, lighting makes this shot difficult.

CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge.

COMPOSITION: Composition within the flarme is good; however, I personally feel that the choice of a wheel that is right at a switching point (and thus the inclusion of the wheel guards and the track for the other direction) adds conflicting lines to the shot.

TECHNICAL: Exposure on the wheel is excellent, ground and track however are a bit washed out. Shooting shooting in different light may improve this a bit. Also, as there is very little color in this image I wonder if you tried converting to black and white. This would help emphasize form over color, which could benefit your shot.

CONCLUSION: A good idea but I feel the execution is not quite there. If you have an opportunity, spending some time reshooting this may be a worthwhile learning experience.

Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges!

Great job, although there is another shot quite similar that has deep blue bowls and is slightly superior to this. The colors are a bit dull. I really like how the light flows out of these bowls although the table/floor shows a bit of noise due probably to the low-lighting situation. Nevertheless a great job! - 8
