 took my large bathroom mirror, and set it on a stool outside (nighttime). i had my friend (kory & Laura) pour lit lighterfluid onto the mirror, while alexxx helped with the camera. then i snapped away... came out nicer than i would have imagined.
theres a nice outtake in my portfolio here.

post includes contrast enhancement, spot-editing, sharpen, resample & submit.

This was a fascinating entry. I have done lighter fluid shots but never with a mirror.

Wonderful!!!

You should place very high in this challenge, perhaps in the top 3.
The only critique I have is that you could have caught the lower reflected part of the flame, you cut it off.
Very good none the less
