2.2 - Flames and Fluid

Jet

With one day to go my creative juices usually get going, and since I couldnt do much with that leaf shot I posted earlier, I switched to a fluid focus.

Here are some I shot today. Let me know what you think. Which one is best? Any ideas for titles?

#1


#2


#3


#4


Thanks

Don't see a #2, but of the three I do see, #4 works best for me for the theme.

#1 seems static - no sense of fluid (although I assume that the bright shape on the ground is fluid I can't tell). #3 is interesting but the large white area at the top distracts and for me destroys any "wow" value the photo might otherwise have had.

#4 is compositionally the most interesting to me - like the steps - and I get a real feeling that the liquid just splahsed out of the bottle.

Best of luck to you!

Thanks Virginia, I agree with what you have said about 3, but I put it in anyway for other people's opinions. No.2 is similar but without that white area - I find it a stronger image. You should be able to see it.. but otherwise its here
Thanks

Just my two cents but I think two would be stronger if you cropped it closer. The label on the bottle is distracting otherwise I like 4 best also.

Peace, gail:D

Ey Jet... I really like the silvery puddle of water in #1 - It's so smooth - I't looks like fluid to me. Of the remaining ones, I like #2 best - Its more interesting than #4 and a better execution of #3. It would be better if it had a story - why is the metho there? how did it get set on fire? A good title or a re-shoot with some element of a story in there could make it stronger

Just my 2bob. I'm glad you've got something -My creative juices haven't worked any magic yet.

With these images I would say number one looks the best, its composition is nice, and then the reflection off the water looks almost metallic and really is strength of that image. With number two and number three. I love the concept, but those two images just need something else. I'm going to agree with the above post about the bottle, I think that takes away from it. If you could put the flammable liquid in the old pop top bottle perhaps with a similar composition to number two. You might be able to combine the strengths of both of them.
