I really like the color here, and the swooping lines above the flame.

St. John where?

Good capture but a bit too much vacant area.

I really like the shot, but wish there wasn't so much darkness and that we could see the ritual up close.

I can see what you were going for here, but unfortunately you didn't quite get the exposure right. I comes out a bit dull and flat. Probably worth trying again though...

I can't see any jumping - perhaps the photo is a little too dark? Nice idea but I can't really make out what it is - it almost looks like a sunrise.

its hard for me to tell if thats an actual person jumping the fire or a dog or what. i think a slightly faster shutter speed would have helped here.

This image is a little to dark in my opinion. I can't tell what is jumping over the fire.

No familure with the firejumping Sup/UL, its an alright image. Doesn't capture me enough, the fire is to bright and feels like it will hurt my eyes looking at it, and that is where my eye is drawn.
