Set up the fork on the bbq plate at home using vice-grips to keep it standing upright. Took the shot in total darkness. Lit by using the fork's glow and holding the gas torch in four different positions for about 4 seconds each corner.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

First impressions are that this is quite "in your face".

Technically this is good. There is some dust(?) on the fork that is prominent and I'm unsure the composition is best. The lighting on the fork at the right is a bit dull.

Artistically this is nice and colourful but it's not obvious the fork is hot, it's just orange. I wonder if that was an issue? The blue from the gas is a good tough as it does guide us to the centre of the frame.

In summary a nice shot but it doesn't say "hot" enough.

Feel free to PM me if you have any queries.
Gerry

Cool looking. Also makes me think that a melting plastic fork would look pretty interesting as well.

Seems to be well lit and in focus but it doesn't really pop. The imperfections on the fork really stand out since it is so close and I don't get a sense of hotness.

Good exposure and lighting. Great effect on the background. Waiting to see how you achieved it.
