 Controlled burn

Thanks for the comments. After I took this shot of a propane torch flame, I thought how much it looked like a military jet exhaust so I rotated the shot. I almost titled it "Night Launch - Controlled Launch".

The border's a bit distracting to me but the shot itself is very nice. I like how it looks like a comet.

That's really good. I wish it started in the bottom left corner and went up to the top right corner.

Nice work, I think a bit tighter cropping at the top and bottom though

Very neat shot - makes me think of aircraft afterburners. Great blue tones, nice composition.
