 I had a lot of fun shooting this. I chose strontium which is one of the materials used to make fireworks. I took a sparkle and inserted it in a vase. I got a lot of good shots but this one was my favorite of the bunch.

I had to look up this one...I wanted it to be something I could get my hands on and I'm glad its as simple as a sparkler...it's a wonderful shot and it should've finished in AT LEAST the top 10 IMO.

Explosive photo! I like pyro! Come on, who doesn't? Well done ... what else can I say?

Oh, I had to come back to add that I am a huge sucker for wide format images.

I can't tell if this is strontium or not but it doesn't really matter. It looks interesting and I like the wide format.

Pretty. It would be better without the weird shape, but I'm guessing that wasn't avoidable.
