I wish it would be taken at night, unless it is a mosquito candle :)

I'm guessing the element you're trying to portray here is fire, but I think the picnic really distracts from the candlelight. It also seems like the brightest areas, like in the lake and on the path, are a bit too bright.

raw corn on a picnic? hehe it has all the elements.. but I'm sorry to say I find it lacking in oomph.

This would be much more effective if it didn't look like it was noon when it was taken; even dusk would have been better. Your candle flame doesn't take center stage - in fact I have to look for it, and then it seems out of place.

i usually dont make comments like this but i gotta:
1. candlelight in broad daylight?
2. where is the focus on an element?
3. eggs and raw corn for a picnic?

blown highlights and lack of shadow details hurt this image ...

The reflections from the water and sky are very distracting IMHO.

the concept of "elements" is not obvious, though you have included fire and water and produce from the earth. The composition lacks of a main focal point. in addition, the contrast is too high, you have lost detail in water, path, trees and in the dishes
