Lovely candle .......i agree with the shadow of the flame not lookin quite right ........seems to have a outline around it,id maybe try blurring the edges :)

great flameage... nice goin' on the whole thing

Nice. The flame shadow should probably have a component above the flame itself too. The hot air rising from a flame refracts light too.

Excellent effort D! The flame shadow would work better if you blend out the edges some,, make it a bit darker right near the wick shadow.. and put a really low opacity squiggly "heated air" kinda thingy at the tip ..This is really good....

Thanks everybody for the comments:) yeah i know after i submitted it, I thought * slaps forehead* I should have blurred the edges around the shadow of the flame .DUH?

I think it looks very good :)
