Great photo all around. Good color, texture, lighting and the flame is captured well. Also like how the apple looks fresh and not as though it had been sitting out a while. Oh, and leaving the seed was a good choice IMO. 8
i was going to enter a photo like this, but missed the rollover. yours would have kicked mines butt anyways:) i like how crisp the apple looks, and the flame is captured at just the right moment for it to appear dramatic
