well, thank you all and especially you, Enzo, for the nice comments. Actually, it was you that inspired me for this shot. And, of cause, you can have it for your avatar...

All I can think of is heart burn. Could make a good stock photo.

Nice flames but the food draws my attention rather than the fire

I like the background a lot - it is a very nice color that compliments the green in the pasta. Your concept is unique and interesting. There is haloing around the fork, however, and that is a little distracting. Overall a nice, appealing shot.

Indeed. Maybe a little overexposed in some areas.

Nice shot. I think this would be better with a little more detail in the flame, however it is a great photo.

Mmmm, pasta, but pasta flambe? I've never seen that before... That's the only thing that puts me off a bit for this photo, the fact that one would not normally light spaghetti on fire.

Really neat idea! Maybe a little sharper and more DoF but I love the concept. 8

You're making me hungry. :P I like the color combinations going on here. The pasta is a tad on the bright side but otherwise well done.

MMMM...I'm hungry now. Great shot that needs no improvement, composition and tones are spot on. Good use of DOF and meets the challenge well. Good luck!
