In a rather happy coincidence for the festive season the first theme out of the bag today was "a candle"

Usual rules, i.e. there aren't any. Post your candle pictures here, you can post as many as you want and make constructive comments about what others post. ENJOY. Check out other "Takes on ..." threads in ideas and inspiration.

Not the easiest subject but Ok, lets have a go at this.

This Lladro porcelain figure is on display on our mantelpiece and with the aid of a few large candles I attempted to make an interesting image ?

Well done @badlywornroy I've tried photographing candles in the past and It's not easy balancing the bright flame with the rest of the photo but I think you have nailed it.
 
ooooo a challenge up my alley... I looooooooooove candles... I used to photograph boudoir portraits by them all the time when I had my photography business... I'll try and add something this month (not boudoir... lol) Thanks for the challenge.
 
@KernowChris I think that is an inspired image, very well done. I might have been tempted to edit out the catch lights but that is just me and a very minor detail. Great photo for the theme :clap:
 
These were taken last weekend at a 6 year olds birthday party ' themed' as Alice in Wonderlands afternoon tea party.

Quick shot I took to put on Facebook as part of a candle wave for a 5 year old boy called Bradley Lowery. Who has received the devastating news that there is no more that can be done, for his battle against Neuroblastoma.

Not sure if it's just me, but I can't see your photo Shaun - permissions?

My first visit to this part of the forum :)
 
Candles on our table and then reflected onto our patio glass door. Christmas lights from our trees are also reflected in the window :) Enjoy. Thanks for the challenge!
