This picture was taken after setting a paper with torch fuel on fire. It is incredible how the flame looks like a heart.

The post editing, I think really enhanced this image.
The colors are gorgeous, good job capturing the rather unique flame shape. Have you considered cropping the image to make the flame fill more of the frame?
It is really interesting how the flames are shaped into a heart.
I like how this photo creates a feeling of emptiness/brokeness. It looks like a heart with a hole in the middle and then the upper right end of the heart looks completely shattered.
The heart formed by the flame is so cool and how the hole and the right side are not complete yet or were complete and are now reopening up! Bravo
I like how you captured a heart-like formation. I like how there is a purple glow on the surface. I also like the overlapping/ twisting flames on the bottom.
Great job focusing on the flame. The colors really come out nice. The background is a good choice and gives a contrast of texture to the smooth flame.
The shape you managed to capture is incredibly interesting. Also your background texture adds a lot to the image.
I love the detail you can see in the flame and the purple hue of the background.
I liked the use of colorization of the image. What are the pieces that look like they are being ejected from the flame on the right?
I think giving more reference on the perspective in the write up would definitely be helpful. I really like the color editing that you’ve done, the pink and red and yellow are a great combination of color.
Love the picture and you did a great job editing and making the flame more clear
I think the color manipulation is well done. It doesn’t detract from the reality of the image but adds a softer mood to it.
I like how you were able to add purple to the image
Great editing. The pink contrast gives it a more unique look
I love how the flame looks like a heart that burst on the right side! I also appreciate the color change in the image to give it a more pink/purple look.
The purple edition of editing makes the colors pop. I really enjoy the contrast of colors.
I love the color contrasts in the flame.
I like the shape of the flame you captured, as well as the editing you did!
The shapes are really unique, I think that all the scraps of paper act like a collage allowing for beautiful lines of light!
I like how you kept trying new setups to achieve this great image
It’s amazing how you were able to capture a heart-shaped flame. The color contrast and color choice is cool.
It’s really interesting how it seems like the paper is flying through the air even though it is just resting on the floor.
The colors around the flames look good I liked them.
Nice job capturing a really cool shape in the fire, I also like the color gradient and pattern on the upper right part of the flame.
I like the purple color in the back of the flame. It adds more interesting composition to the photo.
The flame is cool because you can see different layers and it kind of fades from one side to the next. I love the different colors and how you can see the flame folding within itself.
I’m impressed by how well you managed to get the flame in focus. Also it looks very much like a heart which is really cool.
What was the background used for the image?
I really like the contrasting sides of the flame and how the flame almost looks purple on the edges. Really cool effect
Love the shape and the purple color added through editing.
Great job with the editing. The purple colors gives a great contrast to the image.
I love the colors you used and the framing. Did you color correct this image in post-processing?
The flames appear to be dancing. The way you contrasted it also makes the side areas look like paint.
I love that you can see the darker red in the background- is it paper sparking off? Also the color scheme is incredible and very vivid.
I think this really portrays the beauty of flames, to me it looks like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
The clarity on the flame is great, it seems difficult to take such a picture!
