I missed out last time, and nearly missed it again! If I had more time I would have hidden the sandwhich tie holding the lighter on better, and cleaned the lighter better (there's a couple of bits i couldn't get off quickly)!

I wish the whole shadow was in frame, and I guess I'd like it a little better if it was ever so slightly darker, so the flame had more color. Quite nice, otherwise.
Nice shot! I think it would be even better if composed a bit differently. Perhaps move it off to the side, or make it smaller in one of the corners? Just a thought...
Lovely, both in execution and sense of humor. The flame is difficult, petroleum or lamp oil would have given a more yellow light ... but that's difficult with a little thingy like this disposeable.
