First thing I notice is that the focus seems really soft here. Obviously a low lighting shot, and I think that is making the focus a bit soft here. Better to set the camera down on something, and use the timer if your camera has one. That way, you can avoid any camera shake at all. Could help save the focus that way.
Also, while there is a CAN of liquid in the shot, we really can't see the actual liquid itself.
I do like how you have the flames in the glass. I tink that's a really cool effect. Makes for an interesting shot for sure. it's a little bit too bright in the center of the flames, but I think it doesn't harm the photo much if at all.
The angle and framing/cropping are ok. I disagree with the comment about removing the can from the photo. Without that can, the shot really doesn't fit the challenge at all. Even with the can, it's a bit of a stretch. Definately keep the can, but do put it on a solid background. I think that had it been all black, without the light colored area, the flames could have stood out on a total black background nicely. Especially if it were showing through the glass a bit.
Overall, just needs a bit of sharpness.

| This shot could have been better if you had solid background, maybe light so you could focus on the fire |

| Too "burned out" for me. Also, I don't think the focus is nearly as sharp as it should be. |

Hah, excellent idea. Unfortunately, this more concentrates on the gaseous element than the liqiud one, but I will concede it is not OFF-topic.
I think a bit more focus on the glass and flame would have been better. You could have set it up so the lighter fluid container was still partially visible and let us realize what it was; giving it equal time detracts a bit. Maybe by setting it back a few inches and moving the angle slightly? |

| Flame is way too bright here and focus is soft. Items appear too crowded. Perhaps a larger frame would be in order. |

Could have been a really good picture with better lighting and in focus! 4
ps, I forgot to mention... it doesn't look good when it appears you haven't been bothered to use spell-check... |

| Looks a little dangerous. That glass might crack from the heat. But any ways Interesting idea. A little too bright in the center of the flame, but I imaging it is a hard shot to get perfect. |

| I really like this photo and idea overall. The only thing that would make it better in my eyes is a bit more sharpness. Other wise nice shot! |
