Shot in downtown Boise at a cigar bar. There was this torch shooting a flame enclosed within a glass tube. That is my hand and the other was snapping away. Hard to hold the damn camera steady but I was lacking a tripod. Minimal editing. Crop and curves is all!

What warm and filling colours! Especially for a black and white portrait challenge! Is it a lighthouse bulb or what???
01/14/2007 08:55:45 PM
It's not B/W....or a portrait
01/14/2007 07:16:24 PM

I am sure many have said before me... though its an interesting shot it DNMC. As for the photo I get this urge to tilt my head so as to straighten the shot. The hand is distracting as well. How about a different angle, next time?
01/13/2007 12:18:59 PM
While I love the photo and the concept, IMO it isn't a portrait or Black and White photo. DNMC
01/12/2007 11:41:11 PM
I don't understand how this got in here or if this is the one that was entered by mistake. But I am giving some points cuz it looks cool. Hopefully you have a description of what your title means.
01/12/2007 11:08:02 PM
Interesting shot. Don't see how this fits into B+W portrait.
01/12/2007 05:55:06 PM
DNMC, sorry with the color and no portrait.
01/12/2007 05:18:09 PM

01/12/2007 02:15:41 PM

01/12/2007 12:26:17 PM
I am sorry ... I get NOTHING about this shot. Feels like DNMC ... 4 for tech.
01/12/2007 10:16:02 AM
I can only think that you have accidentally uploaded the wrong photo?
01/12/2007 01:22:02 AM

01/11/2007 12:41:05 AM
How is this a black and white portrait?
01/10/2007 11:47:31 PM
interesting that you choose to put this in the black and white protrait challenge??? Anyhow, it is kinda cool, but I can't score you since it doesn't fit
01/10/2007 11:43:57 PM
DNMC
01/10/2007 10:26:28 PM
I like the composition. It is a creative image, but I don't see how it fits in with B&W Portraits.
01/10/2007 09:07:30 PM
This doesnt fit the challenge at all.
01/10/2007 07:43:12 PM
Hmmm. Not black and white, and not portrait. DNMC. Nice shot though.
01/10/2007 07:22:10 PM

01/10/2007 05:15:25 PM
DNMC for me...a portrait? a pictorial representation of a person usually showing the face
01/10/2007 05:11:14 PM
not black and white
01/10/2007 02:24:15 PM
This doesn't really meet the challenge...
01/10/2007 01:59:45 PM
Black and white!
01/10/2007 01:50:59 PM
Well, other than not being a portrait and not being black & white, it fits the challenge nicely!
01/10/2007 12:42:09 PM
I am really sure how this meet the challenged
01/10/2007 12:34:43 PM
B&W?
Portrait?
I'm confused...
01/10/2007 11:55:44 AM
Interesting picture. Wonder what it would have looked like B&W...
01/10/2007 11:53:48 AM
yeah, i know you are probably getting a lot of these comments but this in't a protrait nor is it black and white. sorry
01/10/2007 09:17:02 AM

01/10/2007 03:35:48 AM
Um..not a portrait. Not black and white.
01/10/2007 02:38:42 AM
