 I struggled all week with this challenge until my brother's girlfriend, Rachael (in the photo) found these colored candles for birthdays. I instantly knew what I wanted.

Setting it up was the difficult part.
I had my brother (Jayson) draw the castle with crayon on wrapping paper. We used lotion under the candles so they wouldn't burn thru the paper.

I hope voters like it. I think they'll dig the idea alot. We'll see.
I'm not expecting much.

good idea, I would change the composition a bit though and the way she holds the flame color is a bit weird ;)

Nice capture - Nice and creative but a little less flash would have made the candles stand out a lot more.

Original concept, but I think it could have been executed better.
