Critique Club Comment :
Composition : Wonderful use of negative space. I may be reading more into this then you intended, but i really liked how the space away from the candle is noticeably darker as if suffering from not being exposed to the candle (person). Very tight use of the "suggestion of thirds". I also like your choose of candles. It has a very 'lived in' look.
Exposure : Photographing a flame is never easy and I think you nailed this. I REALLY wish you had included the shutter speed / aperture / ISO information so I could learn how you did it.
Focus / DoF : Very nicely done, with the background just soft enough so as not to distract from the main subject.
Background : I like the wood grain background and especially the line that is pointing down into the flame. If I was to nitpick one small aspect, the curve line on the background in the upper left distracted me a bit. Not a lot, just a bit.
Challenge / Interest : Challenge nailed. I think the only reason you didn't place much higher was that others had a similar idea and voters have a hard time separating them and seeing each for it's own merits.
My opinion : Print it, hang it on a wall. |

| Would have more impact if the flame was blowing across the picture instead of out of the picture. But still a great shot. |

| I learned for the blue challenge that flame is actually pretty hard to capture nicely. i think you did a great job. depicts the song nicely and the focus on the candle is great. The background is not distracting at all. Angle and framing/cropping are good. I like the left placement of the subject. Good negative space as well. Good luck in the challenge. |
