That's not a real hand is it? Or did you neat image the hell out of it? It looks plastic. Great composition. You got some jaggies on the top side of the wrist from jpeg compression.

I really like the idea, but for me it's just too grainy, and the foreground is too obvious - I'm not sure how you could have got around this. Well taken though
Nice play on words in your title. I am amazed when I see someone exert so much effort and time on a picture and then blunder when spelling their title. I think it should be (Handelabra) , Enough of that! Nice job with a difficult subject, the flame is still a bit bright, and there is a light spot almost in the center of the frame that distracts. This might just be the difference in monitors though. Good job.
Commenting only. The thumbnail looked interesting. Now that it's open, I see that it's an actual candleholder and am a bit disappointed. The light was captured well. A slight curves adjustment might darken the black some, or changing the black point. It would also help with the dark noise. gl
The CG hand is a little "off" (I assume it must be a computer-generated image, as it doesn't appear to be real), but otherwise a great idea & shot! Any chance you could stage it with a human hand? Regardless, nice work!
