I've been working on taking pictures using candles for light. This picture doesn't look anything like the picture I had in my head. How can I make it better?
You can't see them, but all together I used 15 candles in this picture. |

The mood presented is quite nice. The image feels a bit static though. One thing to help with that is to crop a bit off the bottom so the arrangement is a little less central.

don't know if this is a problem in the full-size, but the tops of the glasses and the bottom of the bottle are lost in the backgorund. could either use some more light sources, or use colored glass instead.

| The glass is actually blue. So, any suggestions on how to improve the light? |

you might actually place a couple of candles strategically off-camera to created the illusion of more refractions from the single source. try to get them aboveto highlight the rims. and a soft spot light on the bottom of the bottle might work, but you'll need to have it yellow filtered to really work with this lighting.
