Great photo...I thought of this when I saw the challenge...I'm glad I didn't try it, because you nailed it...a little more whip in the flame from the blow and this would be a perfect shot...
empending darkness. This is definatly one of the more clever uses of light to represent darkness in this challenge. Was there a light source other than the candle? where the light is falling doesn't seem to be quiteright, but i might just be nuts. Excellent crop and you really captured the bend of the flame from the blast of breathe well.
This is a good image which also meets the challenge well. For me though, the frame is too large, especially since all that remains at the top are nostrils. Nice sepia toning and good sharpness on the guy.
I like the idea of this shot. The candle is great, as is the movement of the flame. However, the face loses something for me. I think perhaps if the slope of the nose showed more so that it didn't seem cut off, it would have been less distracting. As it is, my eye tends to be drawn toward the nostril rather than the overall photo. Again, great idea.
