Back to comment: Good sharp looking details and the colors look really nice. However, the subject isn't interesting enough to hold my attention for very long and cropping off part of the "d" makes the image look off blanced.

Candle Glowing on Red
by Ice-Tea-1983

Comment:
Back to comment: You choose a tough subject to photograph for this challenge. The flame looks a bit over exposed and the post processing makes the dark areas of the background look like they were spray painted. I would also suggest you read up on the rule of thirds, as the centering of the flame in the image is one of the least interesting locations you could have put it.

Apples

The focus is a little soft on this image. Did you sharpen the image after resizing for the challenge? Most people run Unsharp Mask (USM) after resizing. In addition, the subject is rather ordinary and doesn't offer much to hold the viewer's attention.

Back to comment: This image would have benefited from a different background. The blinds look a little busy. I'm also not very fond of the post processing of this image. The pages of the book look like they are glowing and have totally lost all detail. Although you managed to give the image a reddish looking tint, it doesn't look natural.

Melted Love

Back to comment: I'm not sure what actually melted but it doesn't really look that appealing. Three things that could help your score with this image: 1) The image is much smaller than what is allowed for the challenge. Your longest dimension is 480 pixels and you are allowed 640 pixels on the longest side 2) Most voters prefer no borders or very simple ones. This one is a bit over the top. 3) You’ve cropped the image a little too tight on both sides. You really should have included the complete candle and the complete rose in the picture.

Back to comment: When you have an image this nice, you really shouldn't waste any pixels on a border. I wish I could see the full size version of this. Put you in my top 10 for the challenge.
