That glass looks broken. I did that to one of my wifes candles. I tried to pick it up after I blew out the candle and it was too hot, so I put some water in the candle and it broke. Good lighting, I like the faint hint of a reflection. 6
Nice detail in the glass and the light. Not sure that the positioning of the candle in the frame adds anything. Is it better or worse with the candle positioned differently or with different amounts of space? (I ask myself as much as I ask you). I like the slight shadow/ reflection of red below the candle. 6, Kavey
I'm being honest and straight forward - NOT to offend. I like the idea, and the the black does bring out the color of the candle, however, imho, the large amount of 'neg space' is not needed and does not help the impact of the image. I don't know what this is about. My first reaction was...ok, it's a picture of a candle...but I don't get much more than that. I would say, look at the candle and try different angles with the camera, see what really works, what would set it apart from being 'just a photo of a candle'? The technical aspect is fine (I do see a hint of a red reflection, not sure if it is intentional) the technical execution is great. In no way is this meant to be offensive...only helpful..not that i'm an expert or anything 5 Ruthann
Fits the bill. I do think the the perspective could of been better, this way it looks like the candle is falling. Still it's nice and right on target. Score 6 Justine
This shot definitely shows negative space. I would love to know why you chose to position the candle in the upper right corner? I would also be interested in finding out if you tried this photo with the candle composed in different positions... I'm just curious... :) - jmsetzler
