Cut a fresh cube of potassium and put it on a saucer. Then I added some water with a syringe, it instantly catches fire. It's actually very hard to get a decent shot because it melts very quickly and produces a lot of smoke. That is when it does not explode...
Potassium is very dangerous to handle, so don't do it if you're not a chemist. And if you are, use only tiny amounts, otherwise say good bye to your camera ;-)

Great concept, but I think you're adding a bit too much light. Let the flame do it's thing, and light the opposite side to keep the shape of the subject.
Not sure on what to say here. It just doesn't quite do it for me and I can't tell you why, except...perhaps, the composition with the other details around it?? I don't know why I'm trying to comment because I can't put it into words but, perhaps, "I don't get it" may come closest rather than, "boring"??? Sorry. Don't mean to be so cruel sounding. I really don't. Just don't know how else to say it and figure that saying nothing is not great either??? Ok, shutting up now. :)
