I've had fun with the little project I've assigned myself the last few days and now I'm getting more of the kind of light I've been after - kind of dark and kind of moody. New elements have been added as subjects with each daily attempt. The first and the last photos are almost the same with the exception that the tea light candle is lit in the last (I like it better lit). I have pushed editing to create more of the mood that was not inherent with the natural lighting.
I like them all but #3 is my favorite. The cracked glass effect of the candle holder is nicely emphasized by the light. Your "In the Box" experiment is a success. I personally would have allowed just a tiny bit of extra room on each side in the box. But that is personal preference. Very well done!
