Composition - This is a very nice photo. It is a worthy candidate for this challenge. I think the only thing I see right off the bat that I would change about it is that I wouldn't have cropped/taken the photo so tight to the flame. I'd have left a little more there. I think if you pulled back a little from the candle you'd have saturated the water just a little more naturally, without PS. I think the shadow in the water is really great. Nice work there.
Technical - A superior photo, no doubt. The colors are jumping out at we viewer types as they should be in this type of photo. The focus is just great too. A real clear well taken photo. If you did some PS to it, it doesn't show at all, which is a great sign. good work in portraying this shot this well.
Overall - Its a quality photograph all the way around. The only suggestion I can give is the one I gave earlier, to give the candle a little breathing room. Other than that, I couldn't have done it any better. Great work. - Inspzil
Clever candle; excellent focus and exposure, although to be a completely cliched flower shot I think the flower has to leave the frame in the upper-left corner...
Nice! The colors are very clear and vibrant, great detail, and nice capture of the flame. Composition also deserves a praise... Welldone!

Very, very nice choice of angle and placement. Even with the slightly higher orange concentration, the contrast between the complementary colours is obviously the focus of the picture. And it's pretty, to boot!
nice colors, nice detail, nicely done. only suggestion would have been to have had the light come from another angle so the shadow wouldn't be visible.
