Looks like you are using an inexpensive camera which is hurting you but also the shot isn't al that interesting or creative. Dpon't give up! - 3

The background writing/picture is distracting. The position of the candlelight could be better - rather don't put it in the middle of the pic.

A nice effort. I don't quite understand your title. I think a colored card for the blurred background would have been more effective in adding some interest than then one that is shown here. The red ribbon in the front looks like a stab at framing and using color for contrast but I think the red would have been more effective in the background (as previously noted regarding the card). The ribbon isn't quite framing the shot so much as adding a distracting element to the composition. The sphere of light created by the flame would have been a nice visual element as it echoes the curves on the rim of the bowl and the bowl itself, but it winds up competing for attention with the red and blue ribbons and the busy looking graphic on the card. I think eliminating the ribbons would have made this a much simpler, effective image. The size of this entry borders on being to small to effectively evaluate, for future reference.

I think moving the flame into the lower third of the picture would have worked better for me -
