I have been experimenting with my exposure settings.

Photo #1: crackled glass votive with light was taken at dusk, so I still had some daylight to play with.
28-80mm lens, set @ 52mm
f/16, 15 sec, iso 200

Photo #2: 3 votives and candles on rattan lid.
28-80mm lens, set @ 80mm
f'/8, 1/6 sec, iso 800

Photo #3: same crackled glass votive as in #1, in darker light.

28-80mm lens, set @ 80mm
f/16, 14 sec, iso 400

Please let me know your thoughts, suggestions, etc..........

Enjoy,
Mel

All of them are well done, I like the first one better as much more detail of the crystall ball is visible, and the colors are nicer

I find the middle one the most attractive, but you might crop some off the top, and also the right side to make it more symmetric. Just my opinion, but I think the first is done in by the door background and lack of mood, though the subject has potential. The bottom one is just too dark.

First two are awesome, especially the first.

First one is particularly appealing to my taste, the composition and depth created by the "mat" on the bottom really aids the composition. My only nit pick is the chopped top and uneven crop to the sides.

Love all the textures and lighting of #1 so much that the chopped top doesn't bother me. The drama of #2 is appealing.
