    This reminded me of some lyrics:

    Close your eyes.
    Give me your hand, darling.
    Do you feel my heart beating?
    Do you understand?
    Do you feel the same?

    1) It looks to be a digital artifact, but whatever that little line is on the left-hand side about 1/3 from the top is incredibly distracting.

    2) I find the framing a bit odd. I would have moved the flame lower in the frame–with the bottom of the flame at the lower 1/3 line or slightly higher. The large black space at the bottom is disconcerting. Is that intentional?

  3. @Mu Yixiao: I believe that is a glint of light off another object.

    And yes, the framing was intentional.

  4. @Kathy: Cool. Thanks for sharing that.
