thanks for all your comments and votes :)

I was going for just a clean, simple, pleasing shot. I know there's no "wow factor" here, not what I was going for. I love the shot for it's simplicity. Thanks again for all your comments! :)

That's a really nice picture. I like the soft yellow color.

More contrast may have helped? However, I absolutely love the shapes here, especially the shape of the light around the flame.

First this is a good shot of a candle. Maybe could be a little sharper. But alas just a candle. I dont mean to sound harsh but to win or even place the image must have the WOW factor. Everyone knows what a candle burnig looks like. 5

This would be better with more clarity, but mostly it's just not a very interesting subject.

I think the focus and colour of the flame is good but dont feel the image has any wow factor (MHO)
