    I like your composition with the stone background very much, but I think the candle flame itself isn't obvious enough, because the candle holder catches the eye instead.

    The shadows left of the picture are also a bit distracting, because they're obviously not from the candle.
    Maybe you could move the background light from right side to the left or use an additional light on the left.

    Hope this helps,

    I like it too but I agree that the flame is not the focus of the shot. To me I see a shot of a painting on the wall and it happens to have a candle in the foreground. Might try to reshot and see what you get.


    Nice idea, just needs some tweaking.

    I find this a very interesting picture. Strangely, I think the reverse shadow adds to a wierd but interesting perspective. The oversized votive, great colors and textures, the ring of glow from the candle... I like it all.
