Struggling a bit for sharpness i think. Any thoughts on this and the general concept would be much appreciated.

Cheers

I like the concept. Sharpness is maybe a bit off... but really, finding sharp focus in a darkly lit scene can be a struggle. What I do is find focus by turning on all available light, focus, then turn off the light and start shooting. Also, maybe try playing with exposures, as well. Try shooting a few slightly under-exposed. You will find that you get some really good contrast possibilities by doing this.

i like the first one.
but just for kicks, some random ideas...
raise the other wicks?
arrange candles at varying levels?
place all on glass and try a little light from below? with a gel?
a more shallow angle of view?
have fun!
