Hi Fabio, good idea for a shot, very dark and mysterious. Hmm, I am thinking that it would have helped to even-out the lighting a bit more, because right now the top of the candle is incredibly bright, slightly overexposed, and the rest of the shot is so dark it is hard to tell what is in the shot (besides the candle). Try placing the candle in a more open, roomy space, then set the glass more in front of the candle (not directly in front, per se, but somewhere ahead of it) so that the contrasts and play of lighting really show on the glass. Also, try to use a tripod when taking a shot like this, because when you use a slow shutter speed like you did it can easily create camera shake. Otherwise a very good shot that's unified with those warm orange tones from the candle. Candles can create wonderful atmospheres in photos, thanks for sharing!
