Great!

This is so adorable!

That's not bad! Though, I don't see much roundness to the candle, it looks just a bit flat and a bit too sharp on the edges. But the flame at first glance is pretty realistic, so nice job with a few adjustments, this would look very real.

I thought it belongs to a photo contest o.O. The image looks quite simple but really effective as a realistic work. Agree with Anna, now you have a bunch of time to make a PHOTO

Thanks for the comments. How is the image now?

awesome work ! the fire looks ultra realistic , well done

Beautiful first attempt at realism......Looks pretty much real...Great effort and great work.....

r u guys sure that its not a photograph...? It looks the author is cheating here... hehe.. just kidding.. awesome work dude.. my eyes don't believe that its a photoshop creation.... ..

Wow

Good work !

Excellent image.. very simple, but i think that's what makes this entry unique. Wonderful work

MUCH BETTER!! In the high res you can still see the hard edges, but it's not a big deal. Really great entry! I like how you added the drips on the side!

Thank you annabat.

I keep staring at this, waiting for the flame to flicker. I'm adding it to my favorites now.
