very nice focus and clarity. I like the color, and I like the pattern that the burner thing sitting on the top creates. The angle and framing/cropping are ok. I like the black negative space. good luck in the challenge.
Normally I suggest taking the cooking surface of, but I like this one. I also like that you got more than just the flame. The rest of the element add to it. This is good and soft and nice. Really good job. PTL 8
I think you in the top three for the blue sub categoy of burning natural gas. quite a few entrys are variations of your picture...... at least 5 or 6 stove tops are featured they are all good shots too. I am sure you'll notice.
