Very nice detail, I am curious what lens you used. Great shot!
when I saw it, I was confused for a second. cause the candle is right behind, but maybe next time try it with the candle to the left a bit (a lot of empty space) so both objects arent clashing one on another. the setup is nice and so is the idea, great exposure as well. just needs a bit of tweaking.
what specs for the shot?
