This is a nice idea, and I like the composition of it. I think though, sharper focus would help tremendously. I would suggest slowing down the shutter speed, but that may blow the candlelight out (no pun intended). Perhaps you could have the room well lit, and shoot it with a fast shutter or something. Not sure.
Nice idea that has partly come through, but I do think that the glass lamp need a bit of cleaning as it looks pretty dirty around th top. I also looks as though it might be a bit out of focus. I know that normally it good to compose a picture using the rule of thirds, but sometimes breaking the rule can help create better pictures, which might have been the case.
You have attempted a very difficult shot. Low light on subject and intense light from the candle. This type of shot has to be taken with a very small f-stop and as long an exposere that you can use to keep the candle from being over exposed. As I said very difficult. 4
it might be wise to work on your focus..... please take this the right way, but surely you could see this was not sharp? could you not have re-shot it?
