I love candle smoke. I don’t know why, but I do. Unlike the other kinds of smoke that are just disgusting, there’s something almost fragrant about it, even if the candles are not scented. One thing that I like about it is that it is fleeting: just when you realize there’s this curl of smoke appearing after you extinguish the candle, it disappears.

I like just about every element of this picture. I initially thought it was a black-and white image, until I took a closer look at the candle and the wick, and I realized it wasn’t. Really nice job on the lighting. I also like the smoke, especially because it’s bigger than I’d expect candle smoke to be.

To the photographer of this shot, kudos to you. Very lovely image.
