The candle is so bright (blown highlights) that the rest of the image was underexposed, and I really have no idea what I'm looking at here. It looks like one of my old band medals and some watch bands? You might try using a soft fill light to bring up the level of the rest of the image to make it closer to the brightness of the candle, then underexpose the entire thing to get it back down to the darkness that you want it. You could also crop down the top a bit, that grey space isn't doing anything for the image.

You have some nice colors that work well together, but the composition and focus take away from the image. It's really hard to see what you are trying to tell me.

Very little is in focus or distinguishable. makes it hard to tell what you are trying to convey.
