On my monitor which I routinely calibrate, I can see none of the detail that would make this a spectacular capture. The flame is blown out and the dark areas have lost all detail. IMO greater subtlty with exposure and/or post processing would have helped. I'm not very good at this so it's just an opinion but it doesn't light my fire.
I think this could be improved if it were either centered completely or pushed definitively off-center into one of the power points (in the rule of thirds). The subject doesn't wow me, either. It's a nice, saturated flame, though. :)
The candle light seems a bit blown out. I almost need to squint to look right at it. I would recommend shooting faster at a higher ISO or dropping the exposure a tad. I like where you were going though. 5.
