 edit:

It was a simple setup, a candle and it is on and another one is snuff. Took two Incense stick, put them on and then kept in such a way that it looks like the fumes are coming around candle. used flash trigger and kept flash on top to have very bright tip of candle and rest to be dark.

Nice picture, good concept, well lit. But why put the subject dead center? I'd try with a little less black space, and a little more of the smoke.

I would have liked it better with both candles blown out but it is still superb

Great clarity. Though the composition seems lacking in creativity to me.
