Really nicely done Mel. This was one of my favorites during voting too... It's a bit soft, so I am guessing that your shutter speed was just a tad slow for it... This translates to ambient light on the cup and of course the aperture too... ISO 200 at f/4 might have helped the fire look a bit brighter, while getting it a bit faster might have brought out some lines... Just an idea... I'm also not a huge fan of the foil... I would probably have gone with pulling the black background down to the bottom instead... for safety, you could have lined the non-visible parts of the BG with foil...

This image grabs you. The change in hues, rather than being a gimick, enhances the viewing experience. Great work. Voted - but took too long to comment!

great picture, and it scored accordingly.

when I first saw it, it reminded me of all the funny "warnings" you can find on American wrapings.. like on a bag of nuts "warning may contain nuts" and on a kitchen knife "warning knife may be sharp"

to get a warning that the coffie you just bought might be hot is strange... you'd never buy it if it were cold ;)

back to the picture... composition, lighting and subject are all very well thought of, and the picture is very good.

this is very amusing picture, composition is good, lighting is good, and the only thing I found wrong was that blown out spot in the sky, if that would be ok then this image would have scored much higher.

still the 23rd place is very good :)

good strong colours & interesting building
personally (all these things are so personal so pls feel free to ignore...) i would have considered cropping this image on the right side, making it more square & so losing the a/c unit(?)

Very nice. I love the colors. It's simple and abstract. It's a photograph of many shapes.

This is a wonderful shot. The negative effect is striking, to say the least. I'm sorry I missed it during voting, but I would have given it top marks.
(See how it looks without the trees.)
