Why did you compose the shot as you did?
I arranged 3 candels in fron of each other. I had nothing in particular in my mind at the time I was rearrangin the candels. I use different arrangement using side by side randomly. Then I put them in sequence in front of each other to get this shot. I like it better than other side by side arrangemens as it shows more gradual lighting effect and just looks nice, The one thing that I like is the texture of the candels that I was able to capture in this picture.
What post production work have you done on the shot (if any)?
None

rbashir,

Different from any I've seen. Lots of black there; "Light Tower" sort of suggests vertical shot may present it better. Flames might be more interesting appearing above edge of candle (new, longer wicks). And sharper. I might have made middle candle taller in photo, top one with less showing. As it is, totally yours, good shot.
