Taken with only the candle light on a white table. I'd like to have a smoother table :)

I sure hope it doesn't bomb...

I once made a similar picture to this, but poorly :-(, so I hope you do well

That's a really interesting effect. Now I want to get my camera out and take pictures of candles. :-D. I especially like the reddish coloring.

This shot is for me equal parts light and shadow, instead of just Shadow. And the "shadow" is more of a reflection. Beautiful shapes and movement, but doesn't quite fit the challenge for me.

That is really lovely. I love the play of light and shadow.

This is a really nice almost abstract shot. If it wasn't for the title I wouldn't actually know what it was.

The shadows aren't fully apparent, possibly because of the tightness of the shot. Perhaps if there was a little more empty space around the subject to bring out the shadows it would have looked better.
