This is a nice image. I like the subject choices and the coloring. There are nice crystalline tones to it and the focus looks good for the most part, though a bit soft in some areas. I'm not sure about the composition. The two items are pretty straightforward in their presentation so I'm not sure if a different composition would add more drama and thus more interest to the image or not. Seems a bit static and flat in the placing as is though. I gave a 5

The hot spot of the flame in the glass is distracting.

the flower in the frame seems to add nothing to this shot

Very beautiful setup. I love the way the light shines in that star pattern, from the candle and also on the vase.

This is an interesting concept. I think the candle itself is too bright, but the reflection on the vase and flowers is spot on.

nice star effect, the vase doesnt seem to fit in this though. its very distracting. and the shots a little too straight forward. an interesting angle may have been able to make this more artistic.

Well the flower & vase is distracting. The candle flame, well, it doesnt look like fire and it is totally blown out the candle holder. It almost does nit meet the challenge. But I will give you a 5 as I am really trying to see the original intent behind each image.

I like the small light in the flame but I am a little bit lost to what the vase /flowers (?) have to do with picture?
