Trading post...
Funny, this is actually what I was going to do! Though I would have never thought of the lighter fluid (smart guy you are). The flame is excellent. |

Hello from the Critique Club.
I didn't vote on this challenge so this is the first time I've looked at your image critically. With your experience at DPC, I'm sure you aren't all that disappointed with the score for this image. You know what it takes to win and this image didn't quite have what it takes.
The composition of this image is spot on, the intersection of the roasting fork with the lower right corner, the border, all help make the center framing of the flame work. Probably the thing that affected your score the most is the lack of detail in the flame. The dark space formed by the two merging flames is wonderful and really adds to the image but as your eyes follow the merged flame, the appeal diminishes because of the blown highlights. I'm not sure if this would work but it would be interesting to see if a spot light of some sort could be placed on the marshmallow and thus allow for a shorter exposure time to prevent the blown highlights.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.
Tim

| Nice job, Tim. Like you said, it's simple, but it works well. Score is good but not great, probably due to the blown bit of flame here and there, but definitely above average. I didn't vote on the challenge so I'm not sure how many marshmallow shots there were, but I suspect this was probably the best of them. |

| LOL - great title. I love the way the flames from the two ends merge and form one flame (the black spot in the middle really intrigued me) |
