Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Very nice. I like the colour versions the best.

Is the fire from a stove top?

Fire isnt from a stove top, its from a magickal liquid that i make.. and i put it in a small bowl filled with a couple of glass beads.. the bowl was placed ontop of clear glass to give the affect it was floating in the air.. then i fanned the flame from above to give it the effect of magic looking fire.. it naturally is a blue flame but when it gets a chance to burn properly will extend out and turn yellowish.. so i just fanned the flame then let it grow before the shutter clicked off

I like the coloured shots Tim. Not so keen on the B and W.

I how that this is just some early waste produce that you are burning and not the good stuff. Myself, I use it to give the mower a bit of a lift :wink:

Nice shots, love the colour, B&W loses the impact.

Every time i play with flamable liquids and matches, there is a boom which brings the neighbours out of their houses.
