Small Deadly Fire

Comment by klstover:
My main suggestion would be to have the cigarete glowing red to increase the appearance of "fire". The thing I like most is the trail of smoke rising upwards.

a little blurry, but good lighting and I like the black bg...

I detest smoking btw, a horrible thing...somebody here needs to quit!

Comment by yanko:
The light and color is good and this certainly meets the challenge. I think this would have worked better as a landscape shot with the main beam off centered.

i really enjoy this and wish it weren't tilted. in this case, i think a straightened-out shot would be quite dramatic and fun.

Nicely composed, the colours feel a little 'muted' to me, a nice bit of sunlight on the chair would really bring out the blue :o) (MHO)

this actually looking much more striking as a thumbnail; it's let down a little bit by the soft focus on the head of the flower (unsharp mask would have overcome this a little). the choice of background colour is superb; very unconventional i think but very effective - it's a nicely composed set up. sadly, it doesn't fit into my interpretation of the challenge (i think it's all supposed to appear to look B&W). but it's still very lovely, and certainly has that wowness i like - so an 8

IMO, the challenge here was to take a black and white photo in color mode. This is way desaturation was discouraged. I don't think it was intended to be a color shot with black and white in it. This may be a suttle difference of interpretation.
