 This was quite a challenge without using a candle. So, I threw down some lighter fluid around a heart shaped bottle. Fire isn't easy to photograph, without catch yourself on fire. I had to shoot in macro. I had just adjusted the colors and sharpened it and Blurred a little bit. The DOF was hard too, Then cropped it. However, This was one of the best shots I got. I was trying to get a flame inside the bottle, but it didn't work well. I was going for a title of "Heart Burn" just to be humorus. However, this one works well. Oh, I know about the noise is this one...it's sucks, so I got a Cannon Rebel today...Perhaps I should have shot it with ISO of 100.

This is very nice! the main portion of the fire really great as is its reflection. The small little space capsule of a flame on the right might have been done away with.

I like the blue glow on this one, and the forms are very sculptural. The small flame on the right helps to balance the composition, too. Given that this is on a liquid, I'd like to see more of the reflection below- maybe a vertical crop? Nice job.

Nicely done, especially the side drop of fire.

Great composition and contrast light.

I really like the fluidity and abstractness of this shot. I also like the way the flame is reflected in whatever it is sitting on. I don't really care too much for the little spot of flame on the right - it's too blown out. But the larger flame is absolutely beautiful and well captured.

I really like the composition here. Your shot is very interesting and you also took the time to ensure it was in focus. It's very crisp and clean. Good luck!

I don't know what it is you're burning there, but you have definitely managed to produce a beautiful shot from it. The "texture" of the blue part of the flame might blend better with the rest of the picture if it was blurred out, though.

i like a lot

It's fire, it's a decent capture and the composition is fair but there is little else to hold your attention.

I really love it. Perhaps, it would be better without the small fire of the right side. Just my opinion
