Very nice composition. You definately used candlelight for dramatic effect well. The lighting got a little harsh in a couple of places, but overall the softness of the lighting is very nice.

Love the warm tones thrown off from the candlelight that really complement the skin tones of the model. Her pose and facial features help project the mood of quiet contemplation. Photo is technically well exposed with details sharply and cleary shown in the fur jacket, a well defined candle flame and even down to the sheen on her lips. My only critique on this photo is that I would have liked to have seen her hands holding the candle. If the models hands are "cradling" or gently clasping the candle between her hands it would strengthen the mood of 'quiet contemplation'.
