Flame on Shiny Metal Plate

This was one of my daily paintings in January.
When I took the setup photo I noticed the plate is reflecting everything including my face/hand or what ever there was on the opposite side. So I moved my big painting copy of Murillo (which I have here laying around and it's in the beginning stages only) there and it showed in the mirror kind of a curious way so I decided to add it to the painting itself.
Mainly the purpose of this painting was to move from my comfort zone to paint something I couldn't paint: metal, reflections, flame, candle. For that reason it is kind of an odd painting and I still might work some more on it especially on that Murillo reflection.

10x10 in, oil on double oil primed canvas
Any name suggestions for this one?

I like the way you've changed the items to reflect (not a pun) what you want. I hope you do more to it because I like the concept and think you could take it beyond where it's at.
 
Mayben, actually it's the photo that changes the reflections. In my setup and from where I was viewing & painting the reflections were showing as they are placed in the painting. Thank you so much for commenting!
Arty, thank you! Glad to hear you like the bg. I think I could make the background pattern more golden even, the pattern paint that you see is a left over paint from the day before.
Sno, thanks, good to hear your opinion about the red object. It was laying around on the table and I just added it to the setup. Like I said this was an odd set of objects together. lol

Thank you again for your comments!!
