I really liked this photo... but I guess because the model is smiling, it may look too much like a snapshot for most people. I purposely used a lot of negative space as I wanted the table and model to 'float' within the frame. I personally like the lights at the top, but can see that it may not be to everybody's taste.

Voters haven`t taken enough time with this image. ("2 seconds" voter syndrome)
Definitely deserved better.

Nice lightning. Dont know if the "street lights" (or what it is) at the top adds anything to the image. Think maybe the photo would be better with them corped away. Still pretty nice image.

I think this has some potential to be great. I think whatever the lights are at the top of the photo don't help at all. There is a great mood going, but then the model looking at the camera and smiling spoils it. They should be looking down at the candles and looking serious.

Imo - I would have cropped this way tighter around the model. Nice light source.
