like the contrast in this b/w maybe would have cropped out the partial tree on the left.

Good choice of props and well exposed. Well done. Just a hint of flash out in the foreground that detracts a point.

Comment by Dr.Confuser:
On my monitor which I routinely calibrate, I can see none of the detail that would make this a spectacular capture. The flame is blown out and the dark areas have lost all detail. IMO greater subtlty with exposure and/or post processing would have helped. I'm not very good at this so it's just an opinion but it doesn't light my fire.

Interesting idea. But the flame being so blurred distracts from the photo.

Nice shot.almost could have cropped out the handle for a change in composition.

Comment by hyphaefungi:
Nice title. I like everything. I'm not sure if I like the use of a flash. It might've worked better with the whole bowl. But a very appealing on topic picture.

Comment by annasense:
I think this could be improved if it were either centered completely or pushed definitively off-center into one of the power points (in the rule of thirds). The subject doesn't wow me, either. It's a nice, saturated flame, though. :)

Comment by Beetle:
I believe you used a direct flash for this photo, which accounts for the harsh light and the strong reflection on the apple. The photo would look much less of a snapshot with better, softer lighting.

The colors seem to be a bit harsh/washed out.
