This is a first on a couple of issues, never shot fire before, (blow some highlights), Never tired a double exposure shot.
Used bulb setting, took a shot of the campfire, quickly covered the lens with the lens cap, rotated over to where my daughter was standing in the dark, she had a small flash light.

I like this one a lot. The red tones in the face work wonderfully with the warm tones of the fire. Not sure about the crop though. Seems just a touch awkward...

I like this effect. To realy make this zing I feel that the face shuld be a little clearer and sharper. I know itsnot an easy thing to do, whilst keeping the whole abiance, but for me that would make the difference between a good score and a top score
Nice lighting and focus on what I assume is a long exposure shot. I think your illusion is meant for us to believe that this guy is on fire. However, his facial expression does not protray that. Despite the challenge, this picture is well done technically. 8
First Impression: A little too red and "fuzzy"
Was I fooled ? not really. Looks like a head behind a fire.
I think more defenition to the face would have helped. Very difficuilt shot.
