 I did not actually own these stocks. I printed them out from various sources and then burned them.

Good job catching the flames. This might have looked better cropped vertically instead of horizontally.

Fire shots are difficult to get before the combustible is consumed! Good job.

Cool to see you're using real certificates. Nice flamey flames. Focus on Worldcom certificate is a little fuzzy. Overall very good though considering this must have been a 1 chance deal.

This is GREAT! Makes me wish I had some stock to burn, too! Great timing! You must have only had one chance to "get this right". My only complaint is the WorldCom stock iis a bit blurry, but really.....10 (you may have a winner here) Swash

Yikes are those real stocks? It seems like the most interesting part of the flame is out of the photo.

I'm glad to see you in the flames because I was wondering whether the fire was a photoshop creation. The stock certificates don't look like they are being burned at all though.

White flecks, little dotted line 1/2way up on the right. Nice concept, and saving on the heating bills so the paper is worth more than the printing.
