Hey Jerry, it's good to see you becoming a regular here. Maybe I should say frequent contributor because I don't think any of us are "regular" in here No offense to anyone here, .
Nice entry, and coincidentally I was going to do the exact same shot. On to plan B for me now.
Thanks, folks, I appreciate the kind words...
Twistedlim, I just now realized that the black portion of the wok would be a perfect break point to replace the OOF areas of the upper wok with an in-focus version to add detail above; I don't really know if composite, or focus stacking shots meet the rules; can anyone advise? Maybe I'll PM Fred for future reference.
Mark, I've enjoyed watching this WA forum for a while, and now I've seen how it gets me out of my bubble a bit, so I hope to keep up the entries...and the train/plane assignment last week showed me that if I have a good idea, I better get it up soon or come up with another one (I think that happened three times last week! )
Thanks again to everyone for comments and everlovin' assistance... Jerry
Nice shot, you must of borrowed my wife's cooking wok, I think all woks have that burnt look on the bottom sense everything is cooked really hot and fast.

This concept was one I was going to work on tomorrow night....on to plan D. So needless to say I like it and think it was well executed.
prasanna, to be honest, there was only about a quart of water in the wok - for balance and to keep it from overheating - so I wasn't really cooking...I was making a photograph! (I also removed the iron grills from the stove top and placed the wok directly on the gas jet cover, just because the image worked better that way. )
Thanks for the kind words, Travis; I'd say "sorry about that"...but...

I'd say you would be fine using a composite image. As long as it lends to the ideal the image represents, it should be no problem...

Gas, the only way to do it properly! Well done
Thank you, gentlemen; I'm just amazed at the lack of bad puns going on, what with all the "gas" and "well done" remarks coming out of this week's assignment...
No offense to anyone here,
