Taken with ambient light to give the flames more brightness, used PSP 8 filters (chrome and one step enhance) to exaggerate the sense of heat. Used a twirl filter on the center discoloration of the burner to give it more movement. Cropped very slightly and resized in PhotoShop.

I really like this for the colors and overall effect. It is abstract, and yet it is easy to identify what it is. I wish I could say something more "enlightening", bit I liked it and gave it a 9 when I voted on it.
Interesting composition. The angle that you shot the subject at makes it quite dynamic and abstract. The swirling center of the burner is a great focal point for your eyes. I like the golden colors that you were able to create. "8"
IMHO this has gone beyond the boundaries of photographic integrity. I do not and probably never will appreciate these shots. Going within the guidelines of the rules, I can not give you a very high score.

Looks somewhat interesting, and even appears like you had a nice blue flame originally too. I'm not against digital art, but I think in a photography contest there should be more of a photograph. Sorry.
This might have been a nice photo at one time. I like the angle of the composition and the positioning of the burner in the frame, but the filter effects just don't do it for me.
This is one of the most effective uses of advanced editing I've seen on this site. The image manages to convey more about the essential thermodynamics of a gas ring than it would unedited. the fluidity, colouration and textures are awesome and the flames are magical. I predict a ribbon. 10
Nice capture. Looks like there might have been some photoshopping, which I wonder if you arent getting slammed for...but I like this image and what you have done with it very much
