Bent some wire into the shape of a heart, then wrapped that in newspaper. After soaking in lighter fluid, I hung it from a table and set it alight.

Cloned a small flame to fill in a gap

Very well done. Like what appears to have been a lit match at the bottom point that set the hear afire. Well shot as well. How many tries? or were you lucky on your first. Excellent image...like it very much.
The shape of the heart formed with fire really makes for an interesting composition. The black background really helps to make the great hues in the flames to pop out of the shot. Simple design. I love it. "10"
Hey... great idea for this challenge. I like that your shot is very crisp as well. I don't know what happened, but it doesn't seem like many people took the time to focus their shot. This is really unique, well composed and interesting. Good luck!
Good control of exposure. I wonder how many attempts this took! I kind of wish the match at the bottom wasn't visible, but this is only a minor quibble.
..or heartburn. Seriously, I think this is a very good image. One of my favorites in this challenge. I like the softness of the flames. It fits the image nicely. If anything, I would have added just a tiny bit more space below the subject. Good work!
