You can have freedom to shoot anything macro (still objects, moving objects, etc) as long as it emphasize the 'spark'.

Be creative, be unique & have lots of fun guys :D

3. Time - any on-topic photo taken at any time is eligible, although photos that have won other competitions should NOT be entered.
4. Size - Please see the Image posting rules.

Sorry for the late decision.

I'll announce the winner.

The winner is:

JOHN B.

The subtleness of the spark, bright color, great bokeh, it's absolutely stunning.

The photo was a standard lighter with its flame turned down to its lowest. It took me 5 attempts to get the one I liked that luckily you liked also :lol:
