Olympic Torch

[Snipet]

Had an opportunity to shoot one of the Olympic torches this morning, went for some nice close up shots trying to get in some detail of the logo and holes, plus one obligatory full length shot.
As always, any and all critique welcome.

Tanks for the comments guys, my favourite is a toss up between #1 and #2. But I think I like #2 cause I'm a huge macro fan so like that style of photography.

I agree with the comment about #4, but that thing is a bitch to light with out blowing out loads of the shot, Its such an annoying shape and length that no matter what it just wouldn't reflect the light back where you wanted it.
