I shot these tealites on my kitchen table in a low light situation. I tried a slightly slower shutter speed (to capture more light) and a high aperature value. Originally I was going for the one candle not lit idea, but as I was finishing I figured I'd shoot this as well. I thought it made for a better shot.

Here is what I like about the shot, I like how the light seems to reflect off the wax and the metal of the other dishes, that really brings a nice feeling to the photo. I wish there were a few more candles in the background rather than the black space, but just a nit pick more than anything.
I like the idea and the crop is good, but it's lacking interest for me, I wonder how it would look shot from the top?
or if you had some smoke from the blown out candles?
I like the concept and the title, although its simple, all the other wicks look really crushed and down, and the one you have lit is the straight up and showing the rest what's what. Good job.
