It is unlucky to see your face in a mirror by candlelight.

Never heard that one. Wow, I guess I won't be looking in the mirror anymore while I burn candles on the bureau.

I didn't know that...good work.

Very noisy.

I feel it's a bit too grainy, although I realize it's candlelight. I also don't like the perspective too much. It gives off the feeling the pic is crooked. I think it's because of the mirror frame.

too grainy and the sleeve close up is too bright

The blown out shoulder is a bit distracting as well is the graininess of the photo as a whole, but shooting in the dark with a minimal light source tends to do that.

I would have chosen to focus on the reflection intstead of the model. Getting the autofocus to work in a mirror can be tricky at times.

is it really? I didn't know that (not that I am superstitious) perhaps a little grainy for me

Is it? I didn't know. The picture is a bit too simple for me though. 6

Doesn't work for me. a large blown out section is in the front, and the candle (even though it really doesn't) has the apearance of hiding the face. Lowering the candel and puttin more light on the face would have helped. Also maybe a tighter crop on the left 2/3s of the image.

would be better if not so noisy although taking a pic by candlelight is tough to do. also there is pretty harsh lighting on the lower right hand side.
