Placed an egg in a candle holder, poured a nice dose of heptane over (no worries - I am a pyrotechnician :) - lit it all on fire, and snapped away!

Critique Club by Silver Fox.
This is an excellent Photo. The background black is simple and pleasing to the eye and naturally does not take away from the main photograph of the bowl of flame. You've done a good job of capturing the various colours of whites/yellows/red of temperaturs of the flames, but the problem is I can't see the egg!

Other than that, I'm at a real loss to tell you in what way you could possibly improve this photograph.

Is there any way you could possibly show the egg and not have as much flame? I doubt it? Can I possibly see an egg to the right of the small flame? Is that it?

Exposure/Lighting/Focus/Post Processing/ no issues what so ever

Good jog - SharQ

It's hard to tell if that's an egg, but I like it regardless, nice flame

Extra points for the evocative (or should that be egg-vocative) title!

Do you like your eggs crispy? Cool shot. Nice composotition.

I voted this a poor score because the egg is not even visible here..

A lovely composition. Lots of negative space. The bowl is in a good position. I like it.

Can't really see the egg too well.

nice soft flame. if possible a little darker within the flame to see more color

Great capture of the flame, lovely texture! Just missing the egg!

too bad we cannot see it's an egg if it was not written but nice shot

Very nice pic... But I think that you took a little to much liberty on the theme.
