 Something outside my BOX, It was very difficult to get this because its a self portrait. I had to hold still for 2 seconds (lasts longer than you think ) and move the candle at the same time.

Thanks everyone for a top 20!!, a bit surprised by so many votes under 4 cause I thought it was well executed ohh well :)

spooky - well done - self portraits are tricky when they involve more than just the typical face - more so with motion added.

Nicely done with great facial expression to terminate the spiral. Congratulations on your top 20 finish.

I don't really like this photo. It's rather disturbing. I think that's the point, so it's very well done!

Very nice. Did you have someone help you with this. If this is a self-portrait, you did a great job of holding still while moving the candle. Either way, nice shot

Wonderfully hypnotic effect with the swirling candleflame - the eyes are attracted to the swirling flame to be further drawn into the center with the snarling face. My critique on this piece is that it would have been better not to have broken the swirl spiral pattern - perhaps not zooming in so tight or tight cropping would have avoided breaking that nice swirl you have going such that it would have been complete. Lastly I think cropping this to a full square format would suit the composition nicely.

I like this one. Creative use of the canlde. My only complaint is the top and bottom of the picture. I think it loses a bit by cutting of the swirl of the flame.

I like the idea, but it looks like pictures that were in past challenges.

Love this shot. Great idea to have the flame trail.

Wow! Scarey face!! Wish the top and bottom hadn't been cut off (to keep the flow of light) but well done in clarity!
