Human Flame Thrower

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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

That fireball is twice the size of her, very impressive.
Shame she wasn't going it against a better backdrop.

Firstly I think the exposure here is pretty good. Lots of detail in the flame without the background being too dark.

Have to agree a tad about the background. Did you manage to get a shot from what is the left of this image, looking straight down the bridge at the castle? Could frame the primary subject really well.

Unfortunately there is an awning on the left hand side which wouldn't give me enough space to work in. The flames were too high.... :D So unfortunately it was a side on view only.

I purchased a Teddy Bear this morning for the sum of $10. I named him Mohammed. This afternoon I sold him on E-Bay for $30. My question is, "Have I made a prophet?"

Very impressive! You did well in capturing the action. I think it would impress the artist also.

TonyH,

Very well exposed image under what would be no doubt, less than ideal conditions. Good job.

Cheers
