Lovely colours, but I feel the DOF isn't quite right. More focus on the flower and less on the background would have been better.

Your DOF is pretty much perfect and the lighting really gives this scene a cinematic quality. Love it!

I'm loving the way you framed this (it reminds me of an album cover for some reason)! The dark background also helps to separate it from the lightness of the horse's head. The flash, however, seems to have made the head flat and somewhat washed out/dimensionless. Did you use an onboard flash or did you bounce it off of something? If you shoot something like this in the future try using a reflector (or even a large sheet of foil) to get some light in from the side. This will help to create depth and give interesting shadows to your subject's face. Overall though very nice job! All the best!

The theme doesn't specify the candle be in the shot... just that it be lit by candle light. I don't see any problem with being on theme. It's a nice shot
