You can say that again...
So now I'm looking at this tiny little flame on this tiny little candle in the middle of all this meaningless darkness.
Mmm.
Why am I voting for you again?
Nice minimalist interpretation of the challenge topic. The flame is not badly overexposed and the mid-tones (what few there are! LOL) are good. Nice solid black background.
There is really nothing wrong with this image photogaphically speaking at all. Its score will depend on how appealing voters find your minimlist interpretation.
Beautiful. Pure and simple. One little candle with so much black space around it really seems to emphasise the 'darkness', even though the eye becomes drawn toward the flame of the candle. Your photo, I think, meets the challenge well and works for me on both an artistic and emotional level. I'm still learning about the technical side of photography, so I don't feel able to comment on ways you might improve on that, but the image looks clear - in focus - and I like the composition. Giving this a 10.
