New Mundane Abstract Challenge - Candle(s)

January 25th, 2015
Apologies for being late posting this - I haven't been able to spend much time on 365 the last couple of days.

Being new to this site I'm also a little nervous about hosting this challenge but as the theme is already chosen and I can cut and paste all the rules etc, hopefully I'll get it right! So here goes.....

The new mundane theme is Candle(s). Always chosen by the winner of the last mundane challenge,the mundane abstract subject is the same. Thanks to @monty147 for the great choice of theme, as she says "Candles present unique challenges of capturing the mood, the flicker, the details, perhaps less than ideal lighting levels and more".
Have fun with this one!!

You can not double tag ! Your Mundane image must differ from your Abstract image.You can be more imaginative in the use of the item for this abstract challenge!

You are free to use any photographic technique you would like to create an image of this mundane object in an abstract way.

You may enter as many photos on the subject as you'd like, but they need to be taken during the challenge time frame to be considered for a finalist.

Like the regular Mundane challenge, the starting date was Thursday Jan 22th, 2015 (again apologies for posting so late) and will run through to the end of Wednesday January 28th , 2015.

Please tag your entries abstract-candles

Voting will start shortly after the finalists are selected and will last for a couple of days, and the winner will be announced shortly thereafter.

Feel free to post your entries on this thread as well to inspire others.

Not a show stopper, but liked joining a challenge to push myself.
Is there a way that I would be automatically shown this feed or do I need to search it out each time? (new to 365)

Another from the shoot, seeking perspective change.
Looking fwd to seeing any/all artistic interpretations for the challenge.

@hippiechick13 Yes I've now changed this to abstract-candles in my original post.

The perils of cutting and pasting:(

@candysiegmueller @randystreat Beautiful photos from you, Candy and Kathy, thank you for posting!
Please note that I had the tag wrong in my original post (now corrected), please make sure that you tag your photos" abstract-candles" for this challenge (Mundane Abstract challenge). If you want to enter the Mundane challenge instead please use "mundane-candles" .
Apologies for the confusion.
