This looks like it was done with a mirror in the darkness. Really cool effect. I think though that the centering may be off slightly. Probably due to having to adjust angles to keep reflection and glare off the mirror. I really like the melted front of the candle so we can see the flame. I may have liked to see the flame straight upward, but I think it is also good the way it is. I really like the use of the neg. space. the lighting is perfect for the effect chosen. the framing is really good. overall really nice. Good luck in the challenge. ~hbunch7187~
Very good neg spc. Composition is off for me, and that detracts from the impact of the photo a great deal. In this case, I would have preferred to see the candle somewhere other than dead center. lhall-6
Up: Good use of mirror. Difficult to get both candle images in focus, but with your extra deep DOF, you got pretty close. Down: The alignment of the candles and their relative placement in the frame.
