I gave it a 3. I think you captured the candle and the flame nicely but everything ends there. I would have tried to add a little more ambient light so that the rest of the image would not have been pure black. Getting a good shot of a candle burning is not as easy as it appears. I have tried a few times and have not been satisfied with my end result also. I have seen some real nice examples of burning candles right here on this site in the past. Maybe they could share their secrets with us?
