nice composition and idea, but it would be nice if one of the flames were in focus.

Not the most interesting bokeh since it's the same as the in focus subject.

I feel this is just shallow dof.

The short definition of Bokeh from KenRockwell.com, which I am using for voting on this challenge: "Bokeh describes the rendition of out-of-focus points of light. We do see that here. " Is the subject enhanced by the bokeh of the background? Yes. However, this photo doesn't make me go "wow".

I think I need to re-calibrate my monitor... those look more salmon color than red on my screen. Nice shot though. ...If you didn't have that candle in front, I would think the farther one was something else. ;)
