Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Wow! I'm glad I still have a bonus star for this one.
Endearing image that sends chills down our spine for all the innocent victims of the tragedies that happened recently...
Excellent capture of the candle flame without overblowing it.
Impressed golden hues.
Subtle illumination.
Pin sharp focusing.
Centered framing.
The reflection accentuated the image aesthetically as it extended the subject nicely...
Best of luck in the contest! Impressive entry. Potential voters choice... Thanks for sharing...

This is a very touching presentation and so apt at the present situation in the world. The chiaroscuro technique used in this image is surely beautiful with a gorgeous light as the main focal point and representing peace everlasting...thank you for sharing

A very nice image and a heartfelt sentiment. The candlelight is beautiful and the details are well shown. I might like for the reflection to include the flame.

Thank you. The glass top it was sitting on was not long enough. 😂

The set up for this photo and the photo itself is fantastic. The light of the candle sitting on top with the reflection below just is really beautiful and the message is very timely indeed.. Very nice.
