very nice lighting I love the orange glow. There are only 2 things that I would have done a bit differently in this photo. The angle is great, but the leaning candle would look better if it were standing straight up. And the background is great all except for the upper left corner where there is what looks like the bottom of a picture frame. Other than that, nicely done. Good luck in the challenge.

Picture frame draws attention, and for some reason I'd rather see just one flame than two. Nice color, though.

Ouch!

This is a nice concept... I think the concept would be even better if the candle was moved over a little closer to the right side of the frame and just the tip of gthe pencil held in the flame... good shot :) - jmsetzler

I am a sucker for flame but not keen on composition of this one. But looking again perhaps it's meant to symbolise a cross?

This picture needs some auxiliary lighting; the light from the candle isnt enough. 5 -lennier

This is an interesting photo. I like the lighting, but the focus seems too soft.
