Thanks for sharing how you did it. I love the high graphical impact of this image. -Gerald

Thank you both. The camera was on a tripod, about 18 inches above the stove. I used the self-timer, and turned on the gas less than a second before the shot was taken, then immediately turned it off. I did not attempt a second shot, so I must admit I got lucky with this one. The principal PP effect came from the “poster edges” adjustment in Photoshop’s filter gallery.

This is very eye catching. Well done.

BTW, I'd have been afraid for my lens.

The PP here makes this unique and special...of a common enough thing. Nicely done.
