 I couldn't decide between this and one of just the candles on the mirror .... I went for this as I thought it was more interesting though probably less dpc friendly, I'm not expecting more than very low 5's ... could be less though!!

5 candles on a mirror, a piece of stained glass supported by a clamp on a light stand, camera on a tripod and all the lights turned out! Upped exposure, blacks and clarity in RAW, increased sat and then a curves and levels layer in CS3. Resize, canvas size white 2px canvas size black 10px

the unfocused sides are distracting
