Very pretty, not terribly interesting, but pretty light nonetheless.

I think you did a very good job in using candlelight in your image, I always muss it up when I try, there's a healthy glow and the colors still have a nice richness. I think the image suffers a bit in composition though. The candles don't have a.. hmm.. purpose in their arrangement - which could very well have been intentional - and that makes the placement seem careless. That carelessness (just my interpretation!) distracts me. The colors as I said are very nice with the candlelight, the focus is a bit soft, but I've found it difficult to get a crisp image using soft light, so you've done very well there. The only other suggestion besides a different arrangement of the subject is a border to pull everything together. I think this image would benefit from one. Nice work! 5.
