Fabulous entry for this contest.
Love the fire flames on each candle, the leading lines, the ambient glow against the dark background and the fine focus and clarity.
Good Luck :)

thanks a lot again for your wonderful comments
Comment from Browncat
Strong vivid colors here and I like the perspective of these church candles. Your photo would be much stronger if you had chosen a focal point. My eye wanders everywhere, even to the bleached out candles in the lower left. You probably couldn't have physically rearranged these items if you were a guest, but perhaps you could have zeroed in on a smaller number of candles where one color was more dominant than the other color.

The first thing I thought of when I looked at this photo was votive candles in a church. So beautiful in it's simplicity. The glowing Virgin Marys illuminated on the candles. The horizontal presentation is perfect. Good job.

You could not have found a better set up for this contest, and I am impressed to see that the photo was taken inside a church. This means that it was probably dark inside, and this created a perfect all black background for these colorful candle holders. Very creative to turn this into a panorama format.
Your photo is of course also nice and sharp and it is fine details to be seen. The exposure is perfect without any blow outs of the whites at all.
I like how the candles are filling all the frame, and the tight cropping. This is a photo with a strong visual impact, and also really well taken. I wish you luck with the contest.

A fine candle light shot. The colors of the votive candles is quite varied and this panoramic cropping makes it seem as though they are endless.

A beautiful & colourful picture of these votive candles with an image of St Therese of Liseux/ The Little Flower on them all glowing in the darkness. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Quite a nice kind of religious scene posted here. Your tight crop gives a reasonable look at them. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Like the shimmer of those flames. Well done and good luck!
