 Hawaii is my favorite State and Hawaiian culture to me, is the most fascinating of all. This picture was taken at a Lu'au in Kauai'i.

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi Patlin...

This shot is quite interesting... the red tone seems to accent the fire theme quite well... I like the 'abstract' nature of the shot, but I'm not really used to seeing much 'abstract' in postcard themes. I also think the photo would have more impact if it was a little bit larger. The addition of some 'Hawaii' text on the image would also probalby enhance the postcard theme quite a bit as well...

Excellent shot and keep up the good work :)

nice to see something that isn't a landscape, very exciting subject. The lines of the stage in the back are distracting - would like to see the fire eaters face

Now this is an interesting shot, it sure is original. I like the perspective and composition.

great shot and love the titled angle, adds a sense of excitement to the shot! Its a bit too grainy and out of focus though.

Beautiful angle, but the saturation and pixilization are distracting over all.

Awesome idea, but the fire eater himself is kind of lost in the shadows... I know this must have been a difficult photo to get.

This would never be an actual postcard - too experimental, too raw. Pretty, but not for this topic, IMHO.

You only used 400 of your available 620 pixels, bigger is better. Great color!

Lots of drama here, and it makes me want to go to Hawaii! I like the gritty, fire-eating look!

It's pretty bright, it's hard to make this out. Sorry. I do like the idea and would like to see more of this same subject.

The resolution seems like it could have been higher (might just be a higher ISO Causing a grainy feeling in low light). I like the concept of this picture though.
