Candle (Manual Mode)

I took this picture with the Manual setting of my camera. Wish I had taken more notice of the Shutter Speed and F stop! I can't make up my mind which looks better. This one taken using the Manual Mode or the next picture taken using Auto Mode. I know I still have a lot to learn about photography, but any positive comments or constructive critisisim is very welcome from more experienced photpgraphers who may view this picture.
