Used a couple of tea light candles to lit this laughing Buddha statue – one right behind the statue (I think I should have added one more) and other one in the front.
Shot this @f/5.6 for a 10sec exposure.

I like the candle in the back and I agree, perhaps one more in the front. Great job with experimenting on different kinds of lighting techniques.
Nice job (as usual) on the lighting. Inspired choice to light the Buddha with candles, the softness and variances of the light really enhance the figurine and leaves you with an interesting monochromatic photo.
Good use of light source for the subject. I agree, perhaps one more in the back to give it more glow?
Great job! The warm candlelight is perfect for this subject.
The laughing Budha is working cause he made me smile today
Nice job working with candles.
