What hurts this picture for me is that I can immediately see how it was done. If you could somehow hide your method and still get some good flames, that would really be awesome. Better image quality couldn't hurt either. Do all you can with your camera so you don't have to over-sharpen or crop in too much.

This looks dangerous, but it makes a very nice image. Technically excellent.

A good shot. I'm just afraid for the black wax that is quite unpleasant, but it still works well.

Clever use of some wax and wick. :D Not sure, something seems a little off. The bg being grey makes the image feel like it needs some contrast or levels adjustment. The way the line (white on edge) on the battery lines up makes it look like a post-processing blunder (it probably wasn't, just looks like it). The "copper top" pattern gives the impression of the photo being noisy. I know, many nitpiks - sorry, just trying to toss out some feedback on initial reaction to this photo. It's a neat concept. Hope it does well for you - good luck.

I like the picture but I am puzzled by the white outline around the battery, almost as if it had been cut and pasted
