It's pretty, but probably doomed for not being a perfectly straightforward shadow. I predict a 5.2, which is simply being generous on behalf of the overall quality of the shot.

Hello from Ãlex, CTP MkII

First Impression: very good shot. What a week for you, two 6+ shots in a few days...
Composition: really dynamic, with the candle on the side and the nice effect of the shadows
Subject: perfect for the challenge, you selected a great subject, quite interesting
Technical: very good technichs here, good focus, wonderful light, nice tonality
Improvement: sorry for been a bit finicky, but there is a flare effect caused by the candle (I think that's flare, I mean like a ray from the light to the left of the shot.
Summary: astounding work this week, keep improving

Ãlex

hi from ctp2:

This is very pretty. The shadows cast an interesting design. I like the fact that the candle is in the bottom corner, casting the shadow above. Nice composition. Well done!

I'm so behind on my critiques but just wanted to remark how cool an image this is. This should have scored higher. I guess the shadows just weren't dark enough? Looks good just the way it is.

that is pleasant, now that I look at it for the first time. The play of shadows, color, light and originality all help to allow this photo to score well.

Stunning image. Very effective shadows.

Simple, yet very powerful. Nice work. Maybe, just maybe little more contrast would do better job here, but it is my own opinion ;)
