Used 2 candles, one behind to get the lighting on the shell and one at the front to get lighting on the subject. Very difficult to get this good.
Used then auto levels, curves, desaturation and USM. Burn and dodge here and there.

I think I would have gone a touch "warmer" with the tones, because this doesn't appear candlelight. Since I'm not a DNMC enforcer, that's okay. I bet it does score lower than it should. 7
At first I voted this a 2. I could not see any candlelight here and a lot of, basically, unfocused material. But because I 'think" I see what may be a flame in the actual base of teh shot (that little blue light), or maybe the wick...LOL.not sure, I am going to bump it up one notch for that. It's a pretty thing, but the shot just lacks for me.
