Not fond of the carpet although cant really say why. I like how you have one candle still lit. I'm leaning towards thinking that there is a little too much smoke, having less smoke would allow more individual plumes to stand out and add more interest, this way it seems a little chaotic. That said, I still think it's a good image.

Very nice. One of my favorites. How many shots did it take to get this one?

lovely image. but, just as a matter of taste, i think that it might've looked better either without the single lit candle - or, if more were lit up. 1 out of 8 being lit up seems a bit out of place and throws off some of the balance of the photo (and the smoke)

Gorgeous. This one really grew on more, the more I looked; I like the subtle color, the symmetry, the smoke patterns, the sense of a story behind it; might be my favorite for this challenge. A 10.

This would have looked cooler if your cropped out the upper portion of smoke, I think.

I am not at all sure about your title but the smoke is very good and the lighting works

I really have never liked candle photos. They are always some red/orange blown out flame shot. This is beautiful and well done. I love the mix of smoke and that all the candles aren't lit. Nice soft white candles and not too much light. This is GREAT !

Very clever but your title does not tie in with the topic. Still I give your photographic skill the benefit over you naming skills.

I really like the delicacy of smoke pictures and this one is especially pretty. This might have worked better though with an all black background. You might want to invest in a smoother dark cloth, this one has too much texture but I am disregarding it for this photo. 9

A curious shot, but the best smoke capture in this challenge. Lighting and overall image quality are excellent.

LOL, great idea. Love all the smoke. Only thing that I wish was a little different was the surface is kinda boring. Otherwise good job.

Cool idea. And a lot of smell, most certainly (10)

You've captured the smoke very well indeed. Inititally I wondered why only one candle was burning, then I read the title and realised. Lovely photo.

Cool. Way to light that smoke...almost getting a little harsh on the lighting, but I like it.
