The highlight in the picture turns into white which is not good.

Take a look at this link to solve this issue.

Out of focus.

As an old film shooter I understand the highlight thing sometimes cant be helped but the out of focus can. Stay with it though you seem to have a romantic eye and that helps a lot.

Moody shots are nice they get us past the everyday aspects of photography. Work on the focus though for sure.

Thanks for the advice...

I actually just took the shot, LOL. Didn't take the time to focus on the subject. and also, just a quick question, can ordinary digicams create same outputs with professional cams? thanks again

I think the ideal way to get about this shot is to use a tripod or set the camera on something and then take two shots exposing for the candles and background seperately... then combine em in post. Just my .02.
