 Blue Candle foating in water which was placed inside Crystal candle holder. I actually took 127 shots of various candles floating in various Irish Crystal and then decided that this was the one that I wanted to enter into the Challenge.
It was shot in the dark with no flash, just the light of the candle itself, camera was on a tripod.

hey there from the critique club ...
this is a very good shot considering how you prepared it and using no flash and just using the candle for light ... the detail is captured pretty good .. i would rather a little more sharpness .. but it is still a nice photo ... as for a macro shot though i would have tried to get a little closer ... i understand that this is a small item to begin with but getting even closer would have a greater impact with the concept of the macro shot ... maybe more of an over the top angle and focusing on the flame and wick ... then again maybe this was as close as your camera would allow .. none the less it's a nice photo .. great job!

I would call this more of a close up than a macro. Nice focus and DOF
