I like the idea behind this image. Nice story-telling, the clarity around the fire is great. Good tones. I wish I could see the woman's face more and have her a bit more in focus as well. I gave a 6

A tighter crop may have made this better

Nice shot with only the fire as the only light. Good contrast on the model.

Sexy girl, it doesn't seem like fire is the main element here though :(

Woman didn't invent fire - man did.

Hey what's with the skin she's wearing? There really was no need!!! :-)
Seriously though, this is a good idea, and it has been well executed. The use of the fire as the single light source really adds to the prehistoric mood...

Bring woman to me - me hungry for woman - me want it now.

You can drag her by the hair of you like but please organise my request as soon as convenient. Thanks.

There's some motion in the model's upper body that makes her look deformed? I can't tell what's what. I think the scene overall is too dark.

Nice Idea! The shot works and is sharp and good light. Only one suggestion. Maybe get lower to the ground and shoot more from her perspective. Anyway I dig it. 7
