Crappy score for what I think is a pretty good representation of Perspective (and a rather clever title, I might add.) Good solid black background and nicely exposed to get detail in the illuminated candles without blowing the flame. To make it better? Maybe have a bit more depth from the front to the back candle and experiment a bit with DOF.

I like the simplicity of the photo and the use of white on black in a color image (seems this would work in one of the upcoming challenges too). The focus seems a bit off and the arrangement of candles seems a bit haphazard to me. I certainly don't think this shot deserved all the 1,2 and 3s. Voters can be pretty rugged on DPC.

I would spend some more time on the basic idea to see if I could improve upon the arrangement if I were you. I think this is worth developing.

Trading Post - Rough shot here. I see what you were shooting for but it just looks thrown together real quick without alot of thought. Irregular spacing between the three with no flow, odd choice of candles (2 being almost similar and the third way different). Not really a good crop. The focus seems off on the whole pic. Just not good overall IMO. Maybe you could fil lout some of the details on the hows and whys of your shots. That might help us see where you are coming frm and what youare attempting to accomplish.

This is an interesting photo. Fits the challenge well too. The focus seems to be a bit OOF though which probably hurt you. The only other nitpick would be the farthest candle, I would turn it so it was squared at the top like the others.

Nice idea. I would've like it better in razor-sharp focus.

I thing the perspective would have a better impact if all the candles would have been the same... but I just love it anyway... great shot...
