If the lighting was better this could have been a great image, but that blowout in his face really makes this image look like a snapshot.
apart from that I think composition and framing is very good, and it's a fun subject to look at, and I like how you captured the flames. |

hello again,
i liked this image. thought it was cute.
what i didnt like was the blown highlights on the guys face. i think had you dropped the exposure a bit... the whole thing would have grown well. the suit could be darker and the fire could be darker. i think that would have got you gallons closer to the ribbon. |

Nice and quirky, definitely meets challenge fine, but I'd prefer to see him actually breathing fire, rather than just 'drinking' petrol.
Composition seems a little stifled. Exposure seems good overall but his face seems pretty blown-out. Colours are good.
Sorry, its hard to comment on this challenge. All I'd suggest to improve would be a less-centred composition, and a capture of some action.

| Cute and engaging, with beautiful vibrant colour, and interesting elements such as the flame, and the matte behind him. Cropping or composition might be a bit tight to the top, and there are some blown highlights. Cute risk you took with the title, but not sure it's too photojournalismy. (Sorry about that word.) Otherwise a great photo that is very engaging. |

This I liked. Colors are vibrant, picture tells a story. About the only nit (and I have to say that I didn't even notice it while voting) is that his face is a bit overexposed. Loved where you caught him with respect to the canvas behind him. Quite a fun picture! |

As a performer who plays with fire as well, I enjoyed this shot. Good colors (maybe saturated just a tad bit more) and the flame looks great. You caught a moment in a performance that is alot of fun. His face seems a bit washed out. And the background image on the canvas is a bit of a distraction. At first I thought hew was wearing a hat or had weird hairdo. A vertical shot may have been nice as his outfit probably looked pretty cool. That would have garnered the pic more interest I think. Overall a fun shot. I gave this a 6. |

| Nice placement of the central figure. The colors seem a bit faded to me (chiefly because gas containers are usually a vivid red and this one seems a bit washed out - of course it could be the sunlight, too). Good sense of humour in this one. |

Very interesting. You have several elements working together in this shot to keep the eye moving all around the frame. You've captured a very interesting scene, and your placement of the actor is priceless. Nice background hair. The shot immediately gave me a smile. I think it could have been better without the harsh lighting on his face, but we can't control everything. Nice score. |

| A unique shot that gets your attention. Tells the story on it's own, but pulls you in and makes you want to read more about it. Well done! |

| Yes, this works. I just realized something. At around $3 a gallon gasoline cost almost the same as milk. Didn't occur to me til I saw him drinking gas ... LOL Nice capture. |
