I tried candles, too, but I got nothing like this. I really like it. Soothing and elegant, a difficult combination to achieve. Red and black with candle flames: always a good choice.
theres just 1 thing that bothers me about it and that is there apears to be a funny ghost line running through it looks like the edge of a table runs from the uper left cornor to the little white dot in the backround just off the longest flare of the far right candel.
