Ok, I get it now. I thought this was a cool shot during the challenge. I am much like you and have abstract ideas that people look at and wonder how the heck I got there. Seeing what you were thinking I love the shot even more. Excellent night work, I don't think people know how hard night shots can be. I love that the subject fills the frame from head to tail, your cropping is prefect. This is really a cool shot, it just might have grabbed more attention in a different category.
OK - nobody really got it - bit far fetched for Cheater - actually fire works at night with out a tripod - reversed - looked like some creature from the sea (at least to me - I have quite imagination) therefore the 'cheater' title - does not really exist - oh well - on to the next one!
I've stared at your photo for a few minutes now and I'm not sure what you saw when you took this, and what it's suppose to be. With your title, perhaps you're just promoting a website?
