The angle chosen here is not particularly complimentary to the scene - but i guess the garland would have hidden the statues at any other angle. This image would have benifited with some addition light to sharpen the focus. May have been stronger if jesus was turned a bit more towwards the camera.

Beautiful picture. Love the "star" affect from the candles and the warm glow. Good composition.

Pretty star effects around the flames. I would have used shorter candles so less wood would show at the top of the photo.

3/4/3..4 - Met the Challenge quite well in my opinion - "Use candlelight to create the impact of your photo.". Criticism; difficult with this angle/perspective (which is good, but the full potential has not been achieved in my opinion), however more attention to the base (which 'works' but perhaps 'features' too much, a more 'neutral' base may have worked better), 'symmetry' (a nudge rotation up on the right perhaps, not just because of the wreath but the candles as well), a variation in composition/crop/framing, variation in perspective (not sure) and perhaps a slightly different focal point (seems blurred/out of focus), or else 'softening' this perhaps to help hide 'imperfections', may have all helped this be even better in my opinion.
