The color here is a bit flat. The background could be out of focus to spruce this up (shorter depth of field.) I'd like to see more of the center of teh coil, it looks interesting.
I love this shot, wonderful concept, great detail, and the little bit of a yellow overcast seems to add age. The only thing that I think could have improved it would be if the coils were red hot, but that wouldn't have been good for your camera though. I love this shot.
i really like this photo, and the subject is great. however, i think you could have done more with this subject. the detail that his provides is nice, but i think a wider angle would have shown more of the coils and produced a better effect. the center piece of the coils has some interesting flavor to it, and i'm sorry to see it cropped out at the edge like that. overall, though, this is very nice. good job.
I played around with this idea myself.. I turned the lights off in the kitchen and got the burner red hot and photographed it with a longer exposure.... My drip pan was clean and it was reflecting the red hot burner ;)
