Challenge
- Relevant to the Challenge? Yes. Especially between the two candles.
- Is subject unique (vs. unoriginal or rehashed)? Yes
Compostion
- Good or Bad? How can it be fixed? Good composition, however I'd stand the wick up and trim it a little.
- Good use of Depth of Field? Yes.
- Good focus? Yes.
Lighting
- Good use of light? The light is on the bright side across the top of the candles. Soften it some.
Aesthetics/Artistic Appeal:
- Colors and Contrast. I'm assuming that the candle on the right is a greenish one, but the color is lost in the reflected sun. Anyway, color isn't important in this image. The contrast is great with the white candle against the dark background and the light through the candle contrasting with the other candle.
- What is my reaction or feelings? I like this image it's a nicely done macro.
