Oh, keen setup. I do wish the flames had been closer in size; the yellow part of the image somewhat outdistances the blue as is. But definitely a nice exercise in the contrast.

Critique Club

Well, I'm going to go against the grain and I really don't like this shot, and more that I really don't understand the lighting compliments - seems to me to be very harsh, very very front-on giving those odd shadows immendiately behind the falls of paint. Given the great way you use light in your other photos i'm quite susprised you liked this enough to submit it.

That said, the other elements are fine - focus excellent, but there's a perspective issue with the falls of paint themselves, and the bubbling and intermixing of the paint is too chaoticc for my taste.

Of course, this is all just my opinion, and given that it scored higher than any shot I've ever submitted I'm not sure how much attention you'll want to pay to that in terns of challenges :-)

PS. A little later ... there isn't a system tat I know of for saying 'can't do this critique' through the critique club. I'm not really happy about what I've said - or perhaps the way I've said it - but if I didn't get something written I'd be at a stop.

meets the challenge but doesn't interest me a whole lot. The yellow flame is quite over exposed

Comment by tomzinho:
the idea is really neat, and the photo is really well done, except from a composition standpoint i'm not sure if the flames benefit from being on top of each other rather than more side by side or diagnal to each other.
