I tried to capture the Ambience of a Tee light flickering in a candle holder with reflections and shadows

...and you did a great job!
There are no doubt may adjustments you could make on this one, but I like it as it is

[EdMak]

You succeeded. Perhaps a bit more space at top. Ed.

Beautiful effect but the diagonal line at bottom left spoils the illusion a little.

Great choice of surface could have done with being moved a little further in giving a little more top and no line at the bottom 10 out of 10 for the idea great photo

Sorry, I meant further back, not further in!

Agree with all above. What were the camera settings?

[johnytrout]

Settings were ............>
Camera Model Canon EOS 650D
Lens EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II
( Aperture Value ) 5.6
( Shutter Speed ) 1/50
ISO Speed 6400
Focal Length 51.0mm

[Dean]

I think you could have afforded to stop down a couple of stops, bringing all of the glass holder into focus and reducing the ISO and noise a little. Worth a couple of more tries

[EdMak]

Also, try some slower shutter speeds. Ed.
