Greeting from CC
Very nice colours used in this image, very bright and warm. The candle flame looks good and the stones give the image another thing to draw the eye in. Seems to slant slightly, maybe straightening the image up would have hepled it a lot more. Apart from that a lovely image.

Nice starburst effect on the flame. The shadow is a bit distracting, and I don't understand the significance of the stones in the cupcake wrappers. Why not use a real cupcake?

Pretty colors, but are those marbles or pieces of colored glass? They don't look like they'd be good to bite into.

Neat glow around the flame and reflections on the stone. The red reminds me more of Christmas than birthday, but I couldn't tell you which color would do better.

I like the glass gems in the cupcake paper. Different and adds great sparkle to the shot. I would straighten it though, it's leaning slightly to the left - just make it parallel with the bottom line of the photo. The green and red are great contrasts as they are opposites on the color wheel. I like the shadow of the scalloped edge in the foreground.

great idea and concept. Like the reflection in the glass beads. The glare on the flame and shadow on bottom may be a little harsh.
