Nice one. My only criticism (& its a minor one) is the candle on the right is blocking part of the frame holding it, that the left candle isn't. Otherwise a perfectly balanced photograph. The effect in the mirror glass is very fitting to your composition.

Love the effect here. THe lighting really works well. And the spin/blur in the mirror really makes for a cool effect. Good luck in the challenge.

I gave this one my only 10 for this challenge. The idea was simple enough, but wonderfully executed. In hindsight, I wonder if adding more color to the reflection in the mirror would give this one a little more pizzaz, but as is, I still think it shoujld get a ribbon. Good luck.

It looks like you were standing a bit off center for this one, the candles don't match and it is a bit distracting.

This is a great idea. I imagine the ripple effect was photoshopped? I don't know enough about the rules to know if this'll put your photo in danger of DQ, but regardless, I really like the idea and execution of this. The lighting is very nice.
