You've captured a nice warm mood with the lighting. The composition needs improvement. You might want to consider the classic triangle for an image like this. I don't mean that literally --- I mean you arrange your subject so that they create the space of a triangle within the frame (you can look at classic portrait and still-life paintings for an illustration of what I mean).
I like that the depth of field for the most part but the foremost candle seems to be falling out of the lower edge of the frame.

I'd like a bigger picture. Next time I recommend you use all of the pixels you are allowed! Nice composition, but it's hard to see the details of the shot.

Better than most of the other candle shots due to nice cropping

Small, in both size and usage of available bandwidth, which will hurt your score I'm sure. I find this composition clumsy too - there's only the single movement through the frame for the eye, and that takes it pretty quickly out of frame. The balance of the weight of the image is heavily to the left too, making it feel un-thought-out. 4

More depth of field would have helped this a lot. Fuzzy glass just doesn't sparkle like it should.

It this some so t of alcohol? Scary blue stuff. The focal point on this is a bit confused - I'm not sure which part to look at, my eye wanders all over the picture.
