Set a fire on the BBQ with lighter fluid, took about 400 shots at rapid fire, spot metering. Looked for charctors in the images and this one stood out. Dodge and burned, adjusted levels, curves, saturation, smart sharpen.

Heh, at first I couldn't tell what the heck you were referring to in your title but I see him now. Nice catch. The flames are very nice, great movement and shape. The lighting looks good and the focus is good though I wish it were even sharper. There's complexity in the flames but simplicity in the composition. I like it but it doesn't reach out and grab me or give me that instant "wow" feeling. I gave a 5
Haha, great title. Maybe another one would have fit the mood of the photo better but this on certainly draws me in trying to spot the figure in the flame. I see it and it definitely makes for an interesting (in a good way) take on this concept!
There are just too many contextless, dismbodied flame shots in this challenge, and to be honest none of them are terribly interesting. This is much like the Fireworks challenge, where the photos that scored best actually placed them in some kind of context. Nothing about this really stands out for me.
Ha! That's awesome! It took me a minute to see it but what a good eye you have to pick that out. Great shot that meets the challenge, good exposure and choice of composition works well. Good stuff.
