Candles

Took me a while to work out why the in-focus candle was so much darker than the others - then I realised it's because it's not side-lit (on my side) by another candle. Obvious really. The top part is illuminated by the light from its own flame penetrating the translucent wax. Makes for an interesting composition though, with the "subject" candle so different from the others.
