I have to agree with Mr. Funk. This is perfect. Sometimes, sometimes ....

Great stopped motion. I like everything about this. Composition and the faces in the background are just great. Not to mention the fire!!!

It's cropped a bit too tight at the top

Great action here, high drama. I love the stopped motion aspect of this. Nice detailing and you've controlled most of the natural light. The focus looks good though a bit soft on the body of the fire-eater/spitter. I do wish you'd been able to get more of a side view of him so half of his face and his red mohawk? would be even more visible. Not sure if that turn to the side would also have a better background or not. Finally I wish the fireball wasn't cut off at the top. Still this is a fun image. I gave a 5

Good capture but too bad you didn't get the top of the flame. Crop is too tight for my liking.

Now this is a cool photo! Great capture. It's amazing how much detail you can see in the fire. I also love the expressions of the people behind him. Good Luck!

Nice! Great stop motion here. My one complaint is that the top of the fireball is cut off.

wish the crowd wasn't behind him and the fire ball wasn't cut off ... great fire capture though ...

This is, IMO, the best of the fire-breathers in the challenge. Great stop action, nice composition. Good luck!

Awesome explosion-like flame, it's too bad the background couldn't have been less busy
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great exposure. Works well in this composition but I'm wondering how a lower angle would have looked. The fire set against that building contrasts really well. Good luck.

Awesome firebreather shot. Should finish top-3. Please share the shooting info once challenge over. Best of luck.
