You were ROBBED!
This is such a good idea.
A somewhat blurry shadow is the only thing I see that hurt this photo.

One of my favorites in this competition - clever use of real and shadow.

Great idea, I just wish your shadow was in higher definition.

Well done. Too bad you couldn't have had a slight breeze blowing the flame sidways. Creative and well executed idea.

Nice idea behind this. It looks as if the shadow is supposed to be blowing at the candle (don't know if this was the intention). I know this was time challenge but perhaps if the candle flickered or was blown out with smoke trailing.

Perfect placement of the shadow. What's holding the candle up?

Good setup, nice shot. Maybe a breeze from an assistant to make the candle flame lean away from shadow?

If the flame showed signs of being blown on I would have given it 2 more points, but I do like the concept.
