Shot was taken with some candles my employee had just bought.
Clone out unwanted stems of the candles to create floating candle effect. Smart Sharpen. Added Border to complement. Clone out dust Resize and sharpen. Fliped image horizontally.

Better focus on the flames might have made this a stronger image. Less foreground would help. The red border is too heavy. I like the lines created by the rythm of candles.
You had me for a split second there but that border really kills the image. You have so much red in the image already I probably would suggested a white border to help keep the eye in the image. Instead the border draws it out to the edge where there really isn't anything to see. I like the setup and although the exposure is a little slow and your flames over exposed I do like the image. Good luck
This is pretty neat. Done with mirrors, or just lots of glasses? My only critique is the red in the border. Doesn't do much for me, or maybe is just too thick and takes away from the image. 9
Super strong image and love this arrangement, as it's impact is great and is so well balanced. Super colors and tones. Hope it in the top ten, and even a ribbon as it is well deserved.
