    Hi Shay,

    well, my first impression was, yeah, that's nice!!! But then I thought, we-ell, it's nice... Maybe you can do some more with shadowplay? Or perhaps a small couldron :D It feels like the photo lacks something IMO, the idea is good, the details might benefit from some reviewing mwink.gif
    Can't wait to see what more you can brew with this challenge!!

    Looks HOT! I like the look of the fire logs and the glowing red and blue flames. But, for me there seems to be a lot of black on the sides... I would try to crop it or get closer. if you can with out going up in flames. The pic also looks tilted. Anyway, that's what I see. I am no expert. Hope this helps.

    peace.

    Thanks for the feedback thumb.gif




    I changed from the kit lens to the 70-200 and took this:

    I like the effect and the gas fire comes to life with the different colors... I would crop out some of the black background though to zoom in more - might be worth a try:D

    I like the whole grill thing, with the brickets and all. Would be even better if you added a steak ............

    I like the 70-200 shot quite a bit, but I think the crop is too much. The uncropped has a nice interplay of dark and light - the crop is all light.

    Thanks for the feedback, I will try a few more shots. I'm glad I took it so early in the competition, I have plenty of time to work on it.

    I ran the 70-200 shot through shadows. It brought out the blue flames more. Any better?

    Yes, I like that. I assume that the steak is over on the other side.
