Firing Glass

Gorgeous. Very simple and eye-catching. Glass is a little off center, but still one of my favorites.

Crash at the Paper Airplane Show

Cute. You could have saved yourself the trouble of the little flags in the background though, they distract from your clever idea.

Gas Fire

Oooooh.... purty colors. I like the color and composition; don't care for the blown-out white spots and foreground focus. This is a tough one- technically flawed but visually appealing.

Blazing Nebula

Comment:
Uh, no. Ionized gas glowing from intense radiation does not constitute fire to me. A tighter crop could have hidden the severe vignetting around the edges, too. I will concede that this is a better deep sky photo than I've been able to muster, though. ;-)

Fire

I like the blue glow on this one, and the forms are very sculptural. The small flame on the right helps to balance the composition, too. Given that this is on a liquid, I'd like to see more of the reflection below- maybe a vertical crop? Nice job.

Get Outta My Face!!

Clearly one of the top shots this week. Too bad the lioness wasn't more confrontational (or at least facing him), but you don't have much control over that. ;-)

Fire The Canon

Comment:
Good choice for this challenge. Beautiful composition and lighting. The only things I can pick on are that the snow is obviously blown out and the cannon's shadow might have been more interesting at a later time of day (plus, you would have picked up shadows in the snow). Still, this is one of my top three picks. Nicely done!

Inner Conflict: Battling Despair

Comment:
Great expression and tone, but focus is just a little off. I would put this one in second place. Good work!

Good idea, and nice composition, too. My favorite of the bunch. 9

Afterschool Conflict

Great idea, but it the execution suffers. Brighter ambient light may have helped the exposure, and cut down that harsh white button. Still, one of the better photos this wek.
