Flaming Hot

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Boy have I missed this forum. I have been on the road and away from my computer for the past month. It has beeen good for getting some pictures.
This is one of my favourites from the Darwin markets. I was waiting to get the flames right when suddenly he looked up and I had to snap away.
Any thoughts, comments would be appreciated.

I've got a camera, it's black. I've got some lens, they are black as well.

Great shot Mal, good expression, the flames work, I like the overall colouring, a real winner.

G'day Mal,

This looks great, flames would be tricky to get and this works well... Was he cooking??? I'm getting hungry thinking of it...

Cheers.

Excellent shot - subject is well engaged with the viewer and the flames work nicely. Only quibble (a minor one) is it looks a little dark to me.

Mmmm nice :D

The flames look nice but the skin colour tone could be improved a bit :) He looks like he has jaundice.

And I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say that looks like satays he's cooking :D

Great shot, a pity you cut out the last few fingers on his left hand, that's my biggest annoyance @ the shot.

Many thanks for the comments. His skin colour was actually not that yellow i think it was the flames that gave him that colour. And yes they were satay sticks that he was cooking.
