An electric stove top on "High". I wanted a "red hot" look, and I think I accomplished that. Camera rested on a tripod.

Only post processing was crop and adjustment of curves.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Technicals:
Nice job exposing this one. You can see the rings have depth to them and aren't blown out.

Subject/composition:
Good subject to depict heat. I like the tight crop, which adds an artistic aspect to an otherwise dull subject.

Suggestions for Improvement:
The only thing I'm not too sure about is the negative space at the top. It really doesn't do anything for me with this subject or how I read this photograph. So I'm wondering if maybe a square crop would be better or shooting at a higher angle so more of the rings filled the top?

One of the best of the stove shots but not overly interesting.

Good, simple, uncluttered illustration of heat. Negative space works very well.

Nice shot, I would have liked to have seen the entire burner without cropping the sides off, but I like the contrast of the red against the deep black.
