You have indeed pictured these candles well, and I especially like the low key approach. The golden candles are standing out from the all dark background in an excellent way.

This is also a very sharp photo showing clear and well defined details in all the candles. The exposure is perfect.

The photo is nicely cropped, and the candles are well placed within the frame. I think this is a lovely and well taken photo, and I wish you luck with the contest.

A lovely photograph of these candles, would love to know the reason for their burning; celebration or a death? The black background does highlight them well. Good luck in the contest.

Nice entry for this contest, the tall slender candles arranged in the circular holder stand out profoundly from the black background .
Well focused, clear image with good use of the light. I like the white flames from each candle.
Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!
