This has some really interesting things going on. I think the backlighting worked against you and there needs to be a sufficient light source to get the person more visible. The fire itself is really cool though.
Well I always come back after I vote to leave comments and second guess my vote... I wold have like it a bit more if the face were not so dark. Over all tho it is a very nice shot and looks like a bit of thought and work went in to it. 9
yikes. looks like that fire's about to tip over. i'm too clumsy i'd float right into that thing. never notice and light my head on fire. lol. beautiful shot though.8
"i know" he said "lets do a barbeque - on a lake!". how anyone comes to this sort of decision is beyond me, but kudos to you for being creative, original and a bit mad. there is a lot to absorb in this picture; from the pretty flames, to the dramatic sky, the floating bloke and the niceness of the lake. doesn't feel too much though, each bit compliments the other. it feels a tad on the dark side (blokes head, specifically) so a spot light or torch might have helped. it's all totally bonkers of course, and immensly likeable as a result. 8.
If the model's face were better lit, this would have scored a point higher from me. Everything else about it is great! I have a feeling other voters will find it too busy or just won't get it, but I think the quirkiness is what gives this one so much potential.
Fun shot! Float-in, Roast in, Marshmallow's that's a hoot! A little dark around the guy. I would have liked to see more detail in his face. Perfect fire capture. 7
