Didn't have a clue what to do for this challenge. I like the image o.k.ish but I think it has a Christmassy look to it (unintentional) which may not go down well in September.

Not a bad shot. Good contrast. However, the composition is buggy me a little. The reflection is so strong in this image that I wonder if it shouldn't have a bigger row in the composition.
A very simple interpretation and subject, exposure has been controlled well and there is now dead spaces which is common when photographing candles. pin point sharpness on the wick is excellent.
Interesting idea. The colors are pretty good, and the reflection is very nice. The motion of lighting the candle is particularly clear. The shot also looks a little grainy to me. Oh, and nice contrast.
