You have captured the essentials of the subject. Instinctive. You have maintained the focus and objectivity necessary to bring out a top class photo like this one. Well done!

Stunning.
Mesmerizing.
Love the golden flame.
If you stare at it long enough, it actually seems to move.
Can't wait to see what's next with your fire theme.
Great photo.
Thank you for sharing.

What a lovely photograph. I think waiting until the wax had melted was a great idea. Lovely composition and depth of focus too. Great shot!

Nice shot Annie. The exposure is very good & has a good warming feel to it. The flame has been exposed perfectly.

The focus & clarity is very good & shallow depth of field is perfect. The off centre placement is optimal. Real vibrance & holds the attention well. Nice one

Nice concept - waiting for the wax to melt to give the illusion of water. The flame is bright and sharp. Lighting is just about perfect. nice composition.
