This has a nice ghostly, old world look about it, enhanced by black and white.
The camera settings must have been spot on to have the candle flame so
clear and the tall candle and shadow exactly right.
Hard to tell what you were trying to convey with this image. There's a couple of parallel lines, I suppose. the lit candle is way overexposed. The other candle looks weird just standing there on the edge of the table. Not sure I understand what you were trying to do
Very nice. It might be a bit better with a little sharper focus and more contrast. The lines of the candle and shadow really add to the stark feeling of this photo.
