2nd Place
Angel of Heavenly Light
by

This image was created by first shooting the flame of my MAPP gas torch. I then joined three flame images together to form what I think resembles an angel (well, kind of anyway). The flame from MAPP gas is over 5000° F (2760° C) so I had to make sure I didn't get too close with the camera. I used Sony's VCL-M3358 close-up lens and shot the flame from about 12 inches (30.5 centimeters) away. A single shot of the flame can be seen Here if interested.

Sony DSC-F717

Very imaginative and creative, bottles. I love the color and the 3-way symmetry.

Beautiful abstract design made from the flame and very creative idea! I love the blue color against the black background.

Thanks Zahid for the comment and you're absolutely right about the fire, I didn't think about that when I came up with the name :-) Following your suggestion, I've changed the name to "Angel of Heavenly Light". Thanks again!

It is very creative, bottles. After seeing the single image I feel you have done post processing work very neatly. It certainly looks like an Angel but perhaps not of Fire but of Heavenly Light or Flame ...as Fire to me always show yellow/red tinge of colours and does not give cool looks like lokksinthis image.
