This is a wonderful image. I love the colors, and the white, fluffy looking smoke is great. I think perhaps a slightly different angle, one that isolated the peppers and showed more of the smoke, might have been even better. Anyway, it's really nice and I hope it does well in the voting. Good luck!
Very clever, the title may help the slower viewer get this lol. A well exposed picture that conveys the image well. I like the 'bulk' of smoke with the fine wisps in the left, would have prefered it with less dense smoke but hey, it gives a very nice sizzling impression - needs to be sent to a food mag ;)
Good plan - I love the idea. Colors work and the smoke is great. Not thrilled with the composition as the bas and the brownish shape on the right edge don't work so well.
