 A quick idea of using my flower shaped candle holder to produce an over-exposed picture that displays all of the candle reflections onto a black polyester cloth, which produces the patterned reflection.

Opened the RAW file in PSE 6.0, cropped the file, and adjusted the highlights, shadows, and sharpness.

Some nice effects. Maybe some symmetry would have helped add interest.
