The Magic Sparkler Poem
Louise Binder-Scott
The firefly has little rings
That circle all around
Its body where a large supply
Of chemical is found.
I try so hard to understand,
And though I ask it why
It makes a glowing light so bright,
It gives me no reply.
What light it makes will not burn up,
It will just go and go.
With every little changing spark,
A brighter one will glow.
Six-legged insects are such fun
To watch and read about.
Perhaps someday I'll be the one
To find their secrets out.
Me and my misses messing with a sparkler got this great effect.

and welcome to TP and the 52.Very nice start to your 52.
Week 1's got a good curve to it, well exposed and nice capture of the flame.
Love the sharpness of the candle holder and the bits of melting snow on it and beautiful glow captured on the snow.
Could maybe do with a bit of WB adjustment to lose some of the bluey tint to the snow - I think that would enhance the orange candle glow more too.
I like the sparkler shot too. Looks like it was fun.
Good sparkly bits flying of the O and nice dark backgound. It might have been interesting to try some different shapes with the sparkler though instead of just a circle

Lovely sharp picture and certainly fit the theme.
Would like to see the colour version and perhaps a little more space above the knife tip, it feels a little squashed.

I like week one, would like to see a bit more background to show it really is snow, but it is a great idea and concept and well-taken too.
Week two, nice and bright, love the poem too.
Week three is oddly bw and I am not sure why. I realise there would not have been much colour there anyway but that, to me, is why you should have left it in? Great idea again but like week one maybe a bit of a tight crop for my taste...

I like this one a lot!
The cracked coconut has some real impact. The way that the bits are scattered around look like its almost exploded. And I like the B&W conversion But I do agree that a little more room above would have helped. Might have been nice to get a bit of motion blur on the blade too.

The sparkler shot is fun and must have been fun to do - maybe with some practice you could get a more interesting shape, though.
Chopped - a good interpretation. Did you really manage to split it with that knife? I usually need a hammer I agree that it needs a little more room at the top, and I would also like to see it in colour, perhaps slightly desaturated, as I am finding the BW a little flat and coconuts have a nice rich colour. Maybe the background wall didn't suit, though!

, the mono works for me.
