nice start! ... u have to adjust the colours of the candle a little bit
and put the candle in a scene, so that i can illuminate the things around.
the shadows should be more diffused and there is a lot of graininess in them

The wax can have a better material, it would be bright at the top and less bright towards the bottom (as a little bit of light wd pass through the wax and illuminate it)
for that u can map an gradient(white to black) to the incandescence map of the candle material.
