wow the background is a little too bright. its a nice effect, but too much. maybe making this less harsh would help improve. nice job though.

I like the crazy look to this image. Gets the theme across very well.

This is a really cool idea! I love the firey colors - the hair really does look like flames! THe only thing I don't really like is how much darker the hair around the person's head is, compared to the rest. It would have been nice if you could have faded it a little more smoothly... but cool idea. A unique, interesting shot.

I like this one, the only thing I could see to make this a really great image is to lighten up the dark area of the hair. the colors all go great together, nice work! 6

Nice concept, but processing on the face looks a little disturbing though.

The hair looks nice, the lighting on the face is very surreal & unnatural- I don't know if that was the look you were going for. Nice composition.

Love the idea. It's all so bright and shiny with the definate focus on the hair. One of my favourites in this challenge.
