[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This weeks theme made me think, a meal with friends provided the answer, the flames from a glass of Sambuca.

Sambuca should be served in a liquer glass with three roasted beans floating on top (you can just see these on the left). It is then set ablaze to provide the ideal conclusion to dinner in the true flamboyant Italian style.

Legend has it that the three coffee beans are a symbol of romance.

Hi Derek,

A great combination of orange/yellow and its complimentary colour, blue. The black background is wonderful and shows the flame off to its best. Very simple, very clear - an extremely good shot. Regards, Paul.

The frame is a bit distracting for me but I like the photo and I think that's a great contribution to the theme.

Hi Derek,
Great origional shot, I have had flaming Sambuca a number of times but would never have thought to photograph it, good colours and sharpness witha good DOF.
Well done
Regards Andy

Hello Derek

WellI have to say this image is absolutely fantastic, a really original idea for this theme and very well shot and presented. What a superb idea. I hope you enjoyed the drink as much as I enjoy this image

TFS and for joining in the theme

kind regards Helen

Hi Derek,

This is a beautiful shot of the sambuca. The shape of the flame itself is interesting, the round glass, and the subtle coffee beans. This would look great on a poster advertising Sambuca don't you think?

All of the comments I could possible make, have already been posted! It's just awesome.

tfs, Lisa

Beautiful composition.
Colors are really great!

Superb! Very original!
I hope you have another version of this to post next week!
Great colours
One suggestion: a slightly more off-centre composition perhaps?
TFS
silke

Hi Derek
I couldn't find what is the motive of your picture, but I like it very much. This reinbow colours with strong contrast is very beautiful.
Regards
Melania

Simply wonderful! The image has a certain ineffable quality...it's universal. It could be a million other things than a liquer glass in flames...
Excellent post, my friend!
Diana
p.s. tomorrow
