08/07/2005 11:12:10 PM
pretty cool, often used effect but still cool nonetheless, ill be nice and give you a 7 for forming such a perfect circle :p
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/07/2005 05:42:17 PM
Great idea here. I love the way the fire frames the model, and am amazed the model is perfectly in focus despite the movement. -edit for typo

perfect circle, great photo, just wish that the fire had more red or orange in the color of it. Nice bg!!

A great fire image. The circle is superb and you have my respect. Bumping up.

in the winning circle 10++
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/06/2005 05:35:28 AM
pretty cool - I like the idea of having the man on a cliff as it gives depth.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/06/2005 02:10:45 AM
Very nice! I was surprised to see so little blur on the subject on a long exposure like this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/05/2005 11:03:41 PM
I predict a ribbon!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/05/2005 06:09:08 PM
Very cool shot but I'm itchin to see the circle frame his feet as well
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/03/2005 07:23:01 PM
Terrific. Really like the centred composition, and the fact that his body has stayed almost perfectly still - in most of the shots I've seen like this, the person doing the fire twirling or whatever is completely blurred. 9.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/03/2005 09:38:19 AM
7 - Lighting looks good, being centered, the uneven ground leads my eyes straight out to the right side of the picture. Good shot nonetheless.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/02/2005 09:12:06 PM
Very nice. perfect light. Looks like he's on the edge of a cliff, but that would leave no room you.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/02/2005 03:53:13 PM
Great image here. I just wish that the man was inside the ring of fire. 9 from me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/02/2005 02:23:42 PM
Standing on a cliff swinging a burning rope with your shirt off. 8 in my book! Good job!

Wow! this is really well done! Beautiful! 10

VERY cool, and sooo round. Incredible, and great surroundings...really adds to the image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/01/2005 09:39:34 PM
my third favorite picture
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/01/2005 09:03:44 PM
O nicely framed. lol Interesting but perhaps having the person holding the rope or sparkler thingy would have been better in black to be less distracting. All in all a nice shot tho. Well done and keep up the good work. Good luck in the challenge. <8>
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/01/2005 05:57:10 PM
A very strong entry. I like the centered "in your face" composition and the location is very appropriate for this shot.
There are some strange skin tones just above the models belt and on his left side that catch the eye.

Anyway a very good entry -9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/01/2005 04:19:33 PM
Wow, nicely done - good lassoo technique to achieve that wonderfully accurate circle and great lighting too - the man and the texture of the surface he is standing on our nice and clear against that white ring. There seems to be quite a strong red halo around him, is that an artifact of the light or long exposure? I don't know much about long exposure, hence my asking it as a question.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/01/2005 04:17:50 PM
Often seen done with sparklers, you took this effect to a new level, Nice work..
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/01/2005 03:08:09 PM
The best use of fire in the challenge...I really like the textures...and the light of course...very nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/01/2005 02:52:35 PM
Too much dead space in the image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/01/2005 08:05:34 AM
would have liked it more if croped more. But goog anyway as it is.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/01/2005 02:08:23 AM
Flashbacks from Fellowship of the Ring movie anyone....Someones got to feel the same way! You know the scene in the mines with the fire dude at the edge of a cliff like that! Anyone who doesn't get this comments should log on to Netflix now. (Good use of simple yet intriguing background)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/01/2005 12:57:32 AM
Johnny Cash would be proud. This is really excellent. I love the monochromatic tones of the subject and the bright white of the light circle. Great frame as well.
