Do you mean sharpen it in post-process or just use a higher f-value as the 1.4 is too soft? |

| Thanks for all the comments, all are very helpful in learning to be a better photographer. This was not a "staged" or planned shot, i was wandering around the house and found this candle lit in a pretty dark room with curtains drawn. I thought about testing my Sigma 30mm f1.4 hand-held and just took this shot. I liked the way it came out. |

| Very hard to have your first challenge on DPC be a best of. I think you have great potential. When I started here I had an eye for a good photograph but no post processing skills. Keep it up and be active in the forums and you could learn a lot. I see you have an image in another challenge right now. Good luck with that. Can't wait to see which is yours. |

| There is something really good about this, its easy to get lost in all the comments about making it better. You liked the way it looked the balance of the composition, the golden light, it works. |

| While not a horrible photograph for what it is, I don't find it interesting. |

| Nice mood setting although the candle holder could be a tad sharper. |

| The gold tones throughout the photograph echo the flame nicely. |
