Hi from the Critique Club!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The comments below have already mentioned this image's less than perfect attributes - the focus mainly, but this is actually not an unpleasant photograph. There's a wistful quality to it and the lenticular blurs from the spots of wax would have been lost if this were sharp.
Personally, I prefer it this way - it has more sugggestion of inner thought than if it were pin-sharp, and its warm glow is easy on the eye as if one is daydreaming.
That said, cramming a shot just in time for a challenge is not good practice to win challenges if that is your target! My advice would be don't submit a shot unless you're happy with it - as it stays in your profile page and you may grow to hate it - until you score better with other shots!
Cheers

| Good thought, but it's all blurry. Try pre-focusing in a well-lit room, then turn the lights off. |

| I'm not sure what you were going for here. The candle doesn't say HOPE to me. Some pointers. Its quite a bit out of focus. Maybe you meant it to be but it doesn't work for me. A better composition would be to have it off center. Good luck on future entries. |

| Couple of things with this photo, firstly how does a candle display hope? I can't see it here! Secondly it is quite badly out of focus making it quite unattractive. |

| The soft focus is nice, though I would have liked to see the flame itself in focus. |

| The whole picture is blurry. Maybe that is what you were going for but IMO it would have made the photo better if the flame at least had been crisp. |

| I don't know if this was meant to be blurry, but I'm not sure it works. |

| Is strange to me to saw this image, very blured. If you try to get a soft focus image, can be you may use a piece of plastic or a filter to do so. |

| This needs to be much more sharply focused to resonate with me. Withut that, I can't see the tie in to the theme, "hope." |

| I'm sure you will have other comments about the focus ... I'd really like to see more of it in this shot. Composition is good and the exposure level looks fine - I think it just needs something for the eye to latch onto. |

| Good idea, unfortunately out of focus. |

It would've been nice to at least have the picture in-focus.
As for the theme, I don't understand the logic beind it... |
