strikebishop, imho not stupid nor redundant ;) yes, it was a very lucky shot (took the edge off the ribbon but hey, if you don't shoot you don't ribbon ;) the shoot was specifically for the challenge and I submitted this shot from many (many) taken because of the 'figure' but never saw that 'it' was actually counting - you've made me think its even better now - thanks!

Taralyn, you may know it as ethyl alcohol, methanol, methyl isobutyl ketone or denatured alcohol?

Another from the same shoot - prancing horse?

Wonderful! I enjoy playing with 'illusion' type shots and you have nailed this perfectly. Now the comp is done I hope you lose the thread and print this :)

I didn't vote on this but its one cool image! My only thought would have been to have you? looking at the heart rather than away from it?

... and I can see why it so photographed! Great sky and excellent composition. Looks a little 'noisy' around the lighthouse to me?

Top coins are a little over exposed for me but a great idea for a motivational poster and a nice crop (maybe a time outside of 9-5 would have been better?

Am amazed, 162 votes and no comments on this one!

Thanks for all your comments folks :) and yikes! a yellow :)

For those that asked, yes, its a single shot and probably the least editing I've ever done to a pic (oh, and my trademark bad border!). The setup is £101 in change (yes, I counted it) and I just poured meths into the bowl and set light to it capturing 2 to 3 shots per 'light'. I have some pretty good flames but this one literaly jumped out.

When I was clearing up there was still meths in the bowl that I couldnt burn so (stupidly) I poured the coins onto another table and set light to them again and, after a scary moment I managed to quell the flames but sadly the table is no more!
