 Simple setup really a dowel rod in apple painted black, rubber cement, lighter and make sure you're damn careful!


hum....not really happy with this outcome. Another shot that I felt SHOULD have done much better.

Good flame and I like the light you have captured on the top of the apple :o)

That's great. You should market it.

very nice - I'd prefer a tighter crop and a smaller border

is this how you get that hot apple cider on those cold winter days?

Nice. I like the shape and color of the flames. I like the composition as well. Nice use of light and the focus is great. I'm curious whether this would look better with a green apple so the contrast between flame and fruit is much greater. I have to say I hate the border, definitely pulls attention from the subject, where it much thinner I think the effect would be much better. I gave a 6, probably would give a 7 with a different border - it aggravates my eye that much.

Like how your subject is off center.

Are you a Microsoft employee? :-)
Nice idea, good execution. I really like the negative space. Good job.

nice a bit too much negative space though I think. and the border may be a little too thick.

Nice work! A tad slower on the shutter would have seen smoother curves on the flames, but a brilliant shot all the same :)

I really like this photo. There's something appealing about the apple flambe. Nice focus on the apple. Reminds me of the flaming heart in religious iconography.

don't see the need for so much negative space, frame is too bold IMO

I like the composition and the use of the dark empty space, good luck.
