This is an excellent image with a lot of atmosphere. The subtle lighting is
very realistic and the hot glow is perfect.
There were a lot of great entries this round, but I was surprised this one
didn't score in the top 10. Apparently a lot of judges didn't like the
lighting as much as I did.
The table top has an odd reflective texture, and the steam over the
foreground iron seems a little too bright and thick, standing out from the
rest of the image. The two flat irons are perfect, great textures and
modeling. I would have enjoyed reading more about the technical work in the
description.

I decided to check and as it turns out I ranked this one exactly 20th in
my scoring. I liked the choice of subject, I found its intimacy
"charming" and was impressed with the technique in places, especially
the glow of the fire, and the steam is even pretty good with a little
imagination from the viewer. But while the textures all seemed
appropriate, they didn't seem fine-tuned enough to create an overall
illusion. In such an intimate frame, you are really looking to be
transported.
