How's this for an amateur with a campfire and chemicals?

Interesting and colorful, which I like. I'm sure others won't be as lenient, but I think it is okay. Possibly a bit too much red and not enough black for a picture like this.

Also, please resize your pictures to around 1000 pixels before posting them.

No, I think it is worse.

I quite like the first one, it made me stop and look at it - had to figure out what it was - but not necessarily in a bad way. I like the contrast of the blue flame on the red coals - works quite well. I know copper gives green flames, what chemicals were you using (old developer? lol)

Don't know, it was a pre-mixed batch of chemical that I picked up at Fleet-Farm for like four bucks. You could probably get several fires worth of color out of one tub, but then what fun is that?

Much better. Nice job

This may not be what OP used, but:

Copper = green
Strontium = Red
Barium = blue/purple
Aluminum or Magnesium = white
Sodium = yellow

IMHO, chloride salts tend to be the best for coloring flames.
