Very mysterious effect. Without the title I wouldn't have been sure what was creating the flame. I like the bit of blue at the bottom of the flame - that often gets lost in a photo.

Great thought. There's no darkness w/o brightness in the world.

I marked this low because I don't see the black in the subject. Feel free to send me a PM, and I'd be happy to reconsider.

I like the flame. Not sure I like not being able to see even a dim outline of the candle sides. Interesting shot.

Flames are hard to photograph and you've done fairly well. The triangular top of the candle also adds interest. The flame here seems to be the focus point with the black candle part almost non-existent due to the background, which unfortunately is what a lot of voters are going to be judging on.
