This flow shows a rubbing alcohol fire in a martini glass. The rubbing alcohol is mixed with orange juice to give the liquid color and to create a contrast between the liquid and the fire.

I am amazed at the way the whole wine glass seemed to light up! Great work overall!
I like the martini glass. Whoever owns that is really cool. The contrast of the blue and yellow is very nice and i like the lighting from above. Maybe add some sriracha to the bottom for more contrast.
I love the W-shape of the flame. And the pull flame is recored in the image clearly. The nice control of the background
I like how you kept the entire glass in the picture. The colors are beautiful and its very well done.
The colors against the dark background look very nice in this image. The mix of hot and cool colors look great. I think that a slightly faster shutter speed would help to show what the flame is doing a little better, the blur makes it a bit difficult to tell how the fire is moving.
Also good use of contrast. I liked how the glass turned yellow. What are the physics did want to analyze?
This is a striking image. The yellow and blue colors are a nice combination and have a great contrast with the black background. It’s cool how the stem of the glass lights up as well. Good choice of lighting. I would try to eliminate noise in the background and make it all total black.
These photos are really cool! The color is awesome and the flame kind of looks like horns. I think you could do a lot with these photos and make an awesome series!
Nice job! I love how the stem is glowing from the light filtering through the juice. Nice job!
I really like how the entire glass glows! Nice shot.
The contrasting of the colors look amazing! It’s really cool to see the two different colors on top of the black background.
Great work. he contrast between the blue fire and the yellow fluid looks very good. The lighting is great and the angle the photo was taken
I also like the the way the glass glows with the comparison to the blue. The perfect line in the yellow versus the blue flame that is perfectly horizontal.
The flame shape looks awesome. I like the color went through the glass and looks different. Nice image!
This is a great idea. You did a great job with the having the contrast of the black, yellow, and blue. Very cool with the glass all lit up.
Nice angle. Top of glass is relatively flat while base gives a very different sense of depth. Getting the entirety of the glass to glow yellow other than the flame was a good choice.
I like the yellow colors throughout the glass, the glass stem is very cool. I like the shape of the flame as well. The black background makes everything pop.
I really like how the full glass is illuminated. Great color contrast between the yellow juice and blue flame.
How did you get the glass to have the coloring of the fluid? Really love the shape of the fire. I think the colors are very striking. What camera did you use?
I like all the colors that you used because it really makes the martini glass have a glow effect, only suggestion is to try and adjust the focus a little better.
It’s cool to see two different images of the same thing. The light going through the stem of the glass is really interesting, the contrast of the blue and yellow is great. The shape of the flame is really interesting.
The vibrant colors really make this image stand out! The way the light flows through the glass looks really nice.
The lighting in the stem looks really cool, it almost looks like the fluid is flowing all the way through the glass. The contrast looks very interesting. Great job.
I like the color choices you made in post. The background is a bit distracting perhaps you could make it completely black.
Very nicely down, good work with your partner. The colors stick out nicely. Could eliminate the white spots with a paintbrush
The contrast of this image is breathtaking. The different colors that are brought out by rubbing alcohol and orange juice is very interesting.. The opaque martini glass provides a nice contrast to the extremely black background.
How did you match the color of the glass to the color of the liquid? It looks great and stands out really well with the black background! It would be an awesome image with just the glass but the flame adds that little extra to it! I am very much a fan. Only thing I can spot is the few white specs in the background that could be edited out.
