Seems too staged for my taste. The light is too harsh as well.... so sorry.

The composition is weak but the subject is good. Trying to fit too much into one shot.

COMPOSITION- Very nicely shot. You have some great detail on the flames and the middle part of the burner. I like the blue on the black. I wonder how you could have cropped our done something a little different with where the burner is. I think that it would look a little better not in the center.

BACKGROUND- The black works great with the low light of the blue burner. The hot pixel isn't fun to have.

CAMERA WORK- DOF is good. Sharpness is a little soft. The aperature and shutter speed are great. It's not under or overexposed.

DIGITAL PROCESSING- The post work is good. No artifacts from compression. I wonder if you could have sharpened it a little. Contrast and brightness are good.

MY OPINION- This was my favorite of the burners this week. Sorry about the pixel. I just found out my camera has two. I don't know what to do, if that's under warranty or what. Great job on the shot.

the centrally-based composition hurts this. i woulda tried a different crop or two, changing the position of the flame in the shot. 6

I like this the best of all the blue flame photos submitted. The focal point and the angle really make this photo work for you. The composition is ok, but not as bad as the others

Third one I've seen so far. I tried this also but I couldn't make the flames blue enough so...
