Cool concept.

Liquid flames.

Crop/frame makes me think,

"We're sitting a little to straight at school."

I'm going to bed.

No vote tonight...tired of the blod-bath. ;-)

I really would like to have seen the top of the flame -- feels cut off. But I liked the idea otherwise.

At least you used ISO 100 to get the brightness right. But while this is cute as a gimmicky concept, it's not subtle, and aesthetically, you need more color, and something else zingy for emotion.

nice intellectual context
not much of an appealing picture
"the picture shall comest from the eye not the head" -- a stupid theory but true

Inferis says:

YES.
I was about to say NO due to the flame not completely being in the frame, but it's too good to let this pass. ;)

this is not framed well and the book deserved to be burnt, it is as boring as the pic of it

deepfruit says:

This looks like a magazine photo illustrating a pat article about censorship. Boring, really. The uber-black background oversimplifies the triangular composition.

Delete.

Beautifully conceived & well executed !!

Caviar says:

The framing is a little weird and the text doesn't add anything to the picture (in addition to being upside down). Interesting image, but unsatisfying execution.

agree with the comment that it might be better if it were the cover of farenheit451 burning, maybe with a better crop but right now it does nothing for me.
