I like the water, but your candle lost some quality in the jpg conversion.
A simple and elegant scene.  Points for using simple objects effectively.

Simple, yes. I would like to see more detail in the candle.

Certainly the simplest depiction of the four elements!

From djconnel@flash.net:
Very nice compact representation of the 4 elements!!!

But it does have some major room for improvement.....

* Too much of the image is total darkness... this image would
be better suited for a vertical aspect ratio.  For the 4/3 aspect,
I would add more candles, perhaps.

* The flame needs turbulence.

* The candle should have hot wax flowing down the outside.

* The wick should have a burnt segment at the end.

The little details are what make an image work.  This has enormous
potential, and really it isn't that far from being a highly effective
image.
