 I had to take this picture quickly and in relatively low light to capture the brightness of the flame. Went through about half a bag of marshmallows before I felt I had the best flame I was going to get. I had wanted to light the marshmallow a little better, but it took away from the flame. Imported in PS, fixed in issue with the background, ran a noise filter to even out the grain where I had to manipulate the photo and then resized.

Nice idea.... I would have liked to see a brighter white on the marshmallow (maybe a bump in brightness and contrast would have done the trick). It looks to be cooked just about right for eating... hurry! Blow it out!

my favorite marshmallow shot - great color and timing - very minor point but the two small hot spots may have been better cloned out ??
