For those that mentioned the lighting/shadows, my big concern was to not blow out the flame with a huge halo around it. That meant more light every where else. No the lighting isn't perfect but it was the best I could do with the household equipment I have

I think you've got some really interesting subject matter in here, and the shot is well composed, but I think the lighting is really hurting this picture. There's a visible light source, but then there's these really harsh shadows which are clearly coming from a spot light off-camera. If you still have this set up available to you, I'd be really interested to see what it'd look like using just the light from the candle and a longer exposure time. I think it might really bring out some of the interesting textures on the typewriter and leather cover which are being lost to shadow or washed out from the harsh light.

I like this one the second time I saw it - First impressing wasn't great, but it's growing on me.

Great colors and latitude. Compostion is nicely done.

I like this color palette. See if you can tone down the hot spot on the top book's bottom edge.

Awesome! Only thing I don't like is the shadow under the book, but that's minor.
