I think there is a lot going on with with the worktop as in reflections, strong shadows and the pattern, which at the moment detract from your scene. I would knock back the reflection a bit, and I know the shadows will change once the light source is the candle… oh just a thought if you had a wall or something behind the egg waving his arms, you would not have as much of the worktop and also you could get some great 'scary monster' shadows. just a quick sketch of what i am on about. one other thing you could try is moving the camera down and in a bit so it feels like you are around the camp fire with them. And I agree with daverave about the colour but you will get that with the flame.

Please don't think i am just picking holes in it,you got a potential for a great fun image… if you nail that flame lighting it will look brilliant! Just giving you my professional opinion


SH*T i should not be telling you this … i want to win!
