Ooooo, fun idea and looks really cool. :)

Thanks! I'm planning a bonfire next week or so, so I guess my mind is on fire and photography a little. *Grins*

Looks very pretty hon. ^.^

Thanks hon! Not sure I could have done much to make it better. I'm rather happy with how it turned out. ^.^

It doesn't need to be any better. Looks pretty awesome! Great idea and great shot of it. The glass jar really adds a nice touch to it. And I like the interesting paths the streaks take. They don't all just flow in smooth arcs out from the center. Nice job!

Thanks! I really appreciate the comment. That is why I said in a previous comment that I don't think I could have made it better, I love how it turned out. At most maybe I could have done the framing a bit better, but I didn't actually have a tripod either. X-D The glass jar/candle holder was a complete afterthought that yielded results far better than I had planned. Being a sparkler I think it's normal for them to kind of take irregular paths. Sparks from a fire will do the same at times. Of course I think my favourite one is the one that is just left of the jar, which appears to have arced downward, caught the edge of the jar and bounced off. :D

Yes, I had seen that one too! Also ones that were going one way, then suddenly zig another, even back towards the jar. I'm guessing it's a form of molten metal or other material that pops to make it spark and fly off, but sometimes there's enough to have another pop while it's in the air and split off different ways. Not quite worth spending the time to research it though.

As far as framing or other changes, the only other thing I think about would be if had a clear high res version of it too. I wonder if would show any interesting details of the sparks and such.

It was kind of a one in a million chance that it bounced the way it did. Actually I might just look up why sparks zigzag sometimes, its a rather fascinating phenomenon and i love watching them. I know that it is a metal, probably flakes of magnesium if I had to guess, but if you watch a wood fire, the sparks from it will zigzag as well. I shot it this image in RAW, but there was no real extra detail to the sparks as it was a long exposure, any detail in the sparks was lost when they moved, turning into the streaks of light you see in the photo. That's why the only real detail you see is in the jar itself since it was stationary.
