Hey Pablo, very creative thinking! The flame reflections look like jet engine flares about to make those candles take OFF! :-) The fact that you explained the process is really appreciated and, I'm sure very much appreciated by those who are new to the hobby of photography... it gives them some insight into what some will do to create what looks so simple (but is not) Mark J

Good thinking and beautiful image, pablo...good use of props...your finger motion causing the reflections to be "wavy" is a great idea to convey the sense of motion. MFC

Pablo: I love the crispness of the burning candles balanced by the almost impressionistic reflections. Great stuff. Fremiet
