Challenge:Silence IV (Basic Editing I) Camera:Canon EOS-10D Location: home Date: Feb 25, 2004 Aperture: f 5,6 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/4 Date Uploaded: Feb 25, 2004
The use of negative space here doesn't make sense to me. You left in what looks like lens flare and placed the true subject of the shot too high. Overall a not so interesting shot made less so by a rather unusual choice of composition. Your fancy frame doesn't add any thing to the mix either...

Nice idea and nice composition. What bothers me here is this:
- I'm not sure if the softness was intentional but the focus is a little soft for my taste, nothing "pops".
- The border is a little much in this case, it's a simple shot, I would have preferred a simple border or none at all.
The colors are nice though. Score: 4
Good job nonetheless and good luck.
INteresting interpretation of the challenge. Definately a peaceful image. I'm not sure about your composition, though. I think I would rather see the flame lower in the image.
Interesting image. A candle burning silently lacks context. Include more detail in the background. Spend less time on the frame, it's not as important as what you are trying to convey.
Could use a bit more edge delineation/rim lighting (at least on one additional side of candle) to help viewer find their bearings. I'll have to assume that the lower dull light is the flame's reflection on some sort of surface. Too many things to guess at here on a subject that should be easy to distinguish.... kinda cool in it's own abstract way, but rather distracting at the same time. Needs more visual info if you're going to convince viewers that THIS is the ultimate vision of silence. :)
