Tea Lights II

I took this the other day when I was working on my 366 project. I think it turned out pretty good, what could make it better?

I think if they were lit it would look better.

I was thinking of a similar thing myself , may be just light the one in focus or light them all and blow out the focused one to leave a trail of smoke or blow them all out apart from the focused one but the point I'm trying to make is that although its technically a good shot it lacks a bit of interest ( IMO ).

Thanks. Actually, the one on focus I think would make it more interesting. The thought to light them never occurred to me at the time I think we have a bag of tea lights somewhere from Ikea.

I do like the concept, and the processing is spot on. One comment I'd make is that the wicks aren't clear. If I had not seen the title I would have thought they were dishes of cream or something. Could you dodge the wicks to make them stand out?

I like the concept, But I like the ideal of them being lit. Try it different ways. Try lighting the back on, take the shot, blow it out, lit the first one, then light them all. Set up a fan and see what that does to the shot. Take a picture of one flame being blown out.
