I agree
The other guy is right. It does need more to it, but it's very beautiful and simple. I feel like I'm walking into teh core of a fire with this one. I like how you combine the colors to make such a beautiful glow.

Thank you for this review. It is very nice:)
Nice idea.
Quite a good idea you have there, and drawn out quite well. Good job.
What amazed me the most was the colour scheme. Green and yellow look perfect for the joyful feel you were aiming for, and the black and green looked very full with hatred and sadness too. As HiryuGouki said, combining the colours to make a glow looks cool.
The main problems in this are complexity and detail. The fire could look slightly more fire-ish and the background needs something that makes the picture look unique. Maybe some rays of light, or a silhouette of a human body. Something which makes the picture look more related to life, or something which makes someone distinguish this picture as not just a picture of a normal candle in a simple background. Oh, and IMO, the candle would look better if it was slightly wider.
In all, a very nice piece of art, with a clever and original idea behind it. Colours were great, but it was slightly simple. In general, great job!
9/10

Nice one
I like the colors, they are very warm and blurry and they fit well together..
It looks like an oil painting even if it isn't, so nice work on that.
THe only bad thing is that in needed more stuff in it..

Review: It could've gone horribly wrong, but I really like the way you did this. My guess is that a lot of people would just see colors, but this was really soothing towards my eyes. Relaxing, of sorts.
The color combination is great, and it really brings out the fire. It's grungy (or something like that), while clean. It perfectly represents the not-so-perfect life every human lives.
I'll have to complain about something, so I'll say that I'd like the flame to look more like a... well, flame. I'd also have to agree that there might be a little too little in the actual piece, but I guess it's minimalistic abstract art, eh?

Ah, abstract art... the thing that I tend not to be able to tell what it means or what it is. Such as I would have never guessed this was a candle if it wasn't for the title of this submission.
I guess because I'm not a big fan of abstract art that I think the flame should be moved over to the left just a tad bit to make it more centered. Not saying to get rid of the wave in it though as that does make it look pretty cool, but just to balance the picture out a tad bit.
I would have liked to see just a bit more of the shades of red in the black that you had in the upper part of the picture to really bring out the black. The mixture of green and black looked rather good though. When the green and black were smudged together I took it as taking the good times with the bad times and realizing that something good will probably come from the bad.
