 Well I did get this twisted candle from leaving it to much in the sun. It was in perfect context with the candle stand it was in.
I did some basic stuff to the image and added an text. I hope you like it.

Critique Club feedback -

Certainly a creative entry. Clever to match the warped font with the warped candle.

The image itself really pulls this poster down. Lot of dirt (or something) on the white background and some shadows here and there which don't flatter the subject.

Overall, I think this is really out of the box so in that sense you presented something that really did present the message you wanted to get across.

My only complaint is that there should be more space between the words. (7)

interesting take on the challenge, good idea for a visualization of the topic, though the image itself is not too attracting. the typeface really is a crime - I understand that you wanted to play with the shape of the candle and candleholder, but it is hardly readable and has that computer-stoneage-look.

Very creative. The picture isn't as clear as it should be, but it meets the challenge well.

Nice idea. Is that a fire hazard? :P

This is a very clever approach. You really did "think outside the box." It
must have been a challenge to bend the candle!
