This is a great photo! The composition is just stellar! That perfect lighting, along with the candle and the subject give a dark, almost sinister feel to the piece. The several different light sources create such a visual feast for the viewer! It creates beautiful colors, shading, shadows, and intense feelings of desire and passion.
I also love the the very rigid black corset in contrast to the soft, melting candle. it creates a really interesting dynamic, as if the character's body is being held in place by her clothing, yet she almost spilling out of the corset's top, like she's made of the same material of the candle, ready to transform or melt with the introduction of heat (or passion, maybe?).
Overall, a beautiful piece that doesn't leave the viewer bored, but rather keeps their eyes moving from the candle to the woman's body. Just radiant!
