Composition-Content
I like the composition here, although I do find myself tilting my head a bit to look at the score. I am wondering how the candle relates to the song, though I think that candelight does add a lovely soft and romantic feel to the picture.
Background
You have managed to create a strong black background which does help to keep the composition nice and simple and allows the viewer to look at only the key elements of the picture.
Technical
Focus is excellent here and the whole image is very sharp, I really need to learn how to use the unsharp mask cause I think it really adds a lot to the overall quality of the picture. The candlelight has created nice soft lighting, though I am not too keen on the green glow around the flame.
My Opinion
I think that you did a good job of representing the song, though perhaps overall the picture needs an extra something for impact, though to be honest I can't think of anything! Anyway, hope that this helps and Good Luck in the next challenge.

Well taken, good framing, technically really nice. Challenge well met. It seems a little too stark, no suggestions, sorry. 6 Swash

Great colors! I really like the way the candle holder catches the golden light from the flame.

Photo is good but I'm marking it down b/c it doesn't tell anything about the song.

The candle holder(?) bothers my eyes, cause I can't really figure it out. Kind of odd. The upper right corner also takes on a strange tint. Otherwise, I like the shot. Relates to the song nicely, and your focus and clarity are good. The angle and framing/cropping are nice, and the overall shot is really good. Good luck in the challenge.
