Hello from the Critique Club, I'm Jon Rowe, and I will be looking at your image today :)

This was one of my favorites from this challenge, very nice job. the composition is great, and i really like the use of lines in this. you really bring the view from the bottom up, and right back down into the mysterious shadow behind the pepper. the vapor lines, fantastic. i don't have anything to add to this, the blown out highlight even works. :) adds that glossy look that i'm guessing you were going for.

this was a very nice image. great job!

good luck on your future challenges.

The vapor lines gives this shot that 'wow' factor. Well done! On my short list for the top.

nice, different idea but the 'flame' is a bit too subtle for me
