I see a few different images in this, both of what you mentioned in your title intro but what really grabs me is the fact that the wire element is still burning even though it’s enclosure has been shattered. Technically and visually amazing work.

Ken Boxsell in reply to Peter Marin’s comment, 5 months ago

Thanks very much Peter. The filament usually lasts for about a 1/2 second

It is intriguing, Ken. I expect it means different things to different people, depending how mental they are, rofl! :o) How about a snake’s head? (Its OK, I’m taking the tablets….......)

Ken Boxsell, 5 months ago

Krys, self medicating again and you are not sharing, I want to see the snakes head too!!! lol. Thanks for the comment

jesika, 5 months ago

It’s a wonderful image but sadly all I see is smoke, or is this how genies look when they escape from a lamp????
Ectoplasm??????
It’s truly technically impressive.

I too see the boxing skull and the question mark~~incredible image Ken. I have a photo of a fire that has the face of a screaming demon in it, but the quality of the photo is not up to par, unless I can find a way to improve the quality, it will just be a photo lost to carelessness!!

Ken Boxsell in reply to Susie Wieberg’s comment, 5 months ago

Thanks very much for your lovely comment Susie

I see an embryo emerging from the flame.

As Peter said…technically & visually amazing

Ken Boxsell in reply to Caroline Gorka’s comment, 5 months ago

Thanks so very much Caroline

Caroline Gorka, 5 months ago

So…you see the embryo too?

Ken Boxsell in reply to Caroline Gorka’s comment, 5 months ago

I am sort of like Lumineux. I think once your brain has a train of thought it’s very hard to contrive another image. Although I am looking Caroline….......5min and still only a skull. Sorry Caroline

Caroline Gorka, 5 months ago

Ok…maybe it is my mind..
It started as a seahorse curled up…. then a fern frond …but it is definately an embryo for me.

This should be part of psychological testing !

You continue to astound me Ken, absolutely incredible photography mate!! You are one of the very best…continue uploading, I can’t wait to see more!!! Thank-you so much for sharing your brilliance!!

Ken Boxsell in reply to Caroline Gorka’s comment, 5 months ago

lol. I think thats what I really like about this image. It always winds up as a fantastic point of discussion. As for the testing, I would really like to see the results.Hehehe :-) I think there would be some wacky images seen. Thanks again Caroline

Ken Boxsell in reply to Carol & Kev Haberle’s comment, 5 months ago

Nancy Polanski, 4 months ago

I see everything you all have mentioned. Except the embryo. Mostly I see the skull…..but it’s not boxing. It wants to shake hands.

Anyway, I also want to say I love your profile. I love your kids’ names. and oddly enough, my older one is named Olympus also. And can you guess my youger’s name? It’s Canon! Unfortunately, I only have two. But I really, really want another. (I might name it Nikon)

Ken Boxsell, 4 months ago

Thank you so very much Nancy

Jeremy Harrington, 4 months ago

this is awesome.. haha and i can see both the question mark and the boxing skull.. at first i did not know what to expect when you mentioned a “boxing skull” but as soon as i looked at the image i saw it.. nice shot

Ken Boxsell in reply to Jeremy Harrington’s comment, 4 months ago

I was going to say switch it around to see the question mark… but now looking at it again… ??? I see the question mark… duhhh and yes, I see the boxing skull… it can surely hurt things with those small arms. Great timing to capture the smoke in a shapely form. I see the broken glass… did you break the bulb while it was on?... or was it broken first…. nevermind… now I understand how this site works,,,, duhh… look at the previous comments.. lol. 1/2 second. Great ready, get set… on… POOF!,, what camera? On burst mode until the smoke went off the screen? Was it dangerous with a light switch? Nice capture of your glowing filament without the brightness. Ok.. now I see the one eyed cobra snake. Very large hood it has… as well as a smilie face… ok… no more meds for me.. hahahaha

Ken Boxsell in reply to LAmBChOp’s comment, 4 months ago

Hahaha. Thanks for the laugh and entertaining comment LambChop, always such a pleasure to read.

Robyn Carter, 3 months ago
