What can I say about this photo that hasn't been said? Congrats on the 4th place finish.
The composition is lovely. The orange flames really stand out against the very understated scenery. It is a very calm and peaceful setting, and draws you into it.
The only thing that I can say is that the big rock tends to compete with the fire for my attention.
I just gotta ask, why the f20 and iso 800? Why not iso 200 and f10, wouldn´t that have lead to better image quality? Eh who cares, you still beat my ass so maybe I should try those settings too next time :P Congrats on the honorable mention, looks like you guys beat us this week :(
I think the best answer I can give you Lárus is the photo itself and the results in the challenge. But in fact I did take several shots this evening with different settings, but this one had the right grainy appearance I was trying to achieve.

wonderful work beautiful shot perfectly composed and the orange from the fire and the glow on his face really draws attention to the subject fire without taking away from the lovely setting. Fantastic work!
I think what makes this image so awesome is this: the surroundings are so beautiful and impressive looking, but that has the potential to draw attention away from the fire in a composition like this. But the colors of the surroundings are understated (while still being pretty), so the fire is what the eye is drawn to more.
Gorgeous! I think this one is my favorite (don't tell my husband
since he entered Fire II). I love the gray tones and the contrasting bright fire. I can feel the warmth in all that chill. Bumping you up to 9. Good luck.
