Love the flames, but the "outline effect" on the lemon and the bottom of the pitcher hurt the overall image. Bring back a little more of the lemon and work on the very bottom area a bit, bringing the flames down into the solid black, so it looks like the lemon is plunging into a pitcher of fire more.

Thanks for the input i have reworked the lemon and completely agree it looks better with more of the lemon detail.

I will play around with the flames to see if i can make any improvements.

Thanks

Good image, but I don't see why there would be water drops in the flames.

CMYK46 i had considered this and wasn't sure whether to keep them or not i will see what removing them adds / takes away from the image when playing with the flames.

Better with the lemon...
Those aren't water drops, that's flammable oil that hasn't ignited yet...

I love it, FIRE WATER. I would call that "mampoor' (a drink that is home made and is almost pure alcohol)

Thats some imagination, MossyB hehe, and you really do have to have it for these contests, not everything has to be so literal. Cool image, author!
