This is really cool, but I think maybe a little too close up? Possibly next time further away you might be able to pick up some cool shadows and stuff from the flickering light.
This will have more impact by cropping the Right border about half-way to the candle. This will decentralize the image. Then, Reverse (Flop) the image and you'll see the effect immediately.
The viewers eyes are drawn in from the lower left corner, up and into the tilted candle and the vertical flame. The wider area to the right allows for comfortable viewing of the overall image without the eyes bouncing back and forth to the two equal black areas that exist before cropping.
Well done though!
