Very lovely scene here. Nice to linger and look at. Needs just a touch more sharpness, maybe.

First of all, I'm amazed you didn't burn yourself. You do know you're certifiable, right? I think this was a pretty good execution of your idea. I realize since you were behind the viewfinder holding your hand out front, you couldn't much change the angle, but I think had you had the hand turned more so that the flame was between the thumb and first finger for the viewer, it might have been more effective. Though I don't know why I think that. The only other nit - flame doesn't seem to be as crisply focused as it could be.

Edit to add I love Aimee's comment.

Hot Footin' It

Heh - it wasn't a dumb idea, other than you really shouldn't burn your foot for the sake of a challenge entry - and it did meet the challenge, plus the title was really quite good... But the blurred foot with the post-processed toenails just was a bit too weird-looking in the end. Just try to do something a wee bit less dangerous for the next one, OK? :-)

The thing that makes this really cool is the retained detail in the ball itself. Nicely done and congrats!

Blue Heat

Way underrated in my opinion. This is great composition-wise, perfect crispness and clarity. I suppose some folks don't realize "heat" can indeed be "blue". Great shot, and I love the guy's welding mask. This is one that takes more than the usual 2 seconds viewing time to truly appreciate!

Texas Heat

Brenda - I love this idea! Perfect arrangement of the peppers, and those of us in Texas can truly appreciate it! It is a little flat, meaning it needs a bit more light/contrast. It may have been a little underexposed when you took it, but you should be able to "pep" it up a bit in post processing. Try posting in the forums and I'm sure people can help you more than I can in things you can try. It's all a good learning experience here.
