Arrrk, people have mentioned the rock on the left hand side and the gravel in my yard. I would have loved to have burnt that out, but I was a little paranoid about the changing of elements in a photo. SO had to do with them in there , and yes it sucks!

AND I just noticed that stupid white ball is still visible, I have that in every shot, drives me nuts. That will teach me to clean my yard before a shoot!

Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments!!
Also thanks to all the girls who have no idea that there is a white ball, rocks and pebbles in this shot!!! made me giggle!

awesome shot!! I'm a little late in my congrats, but, congrats!! (actually, I like the rock in the left hand corner, it makes it look more real instead of a setup shot.
i think fire beats rock. farmers trick to clear a field. burn a big fire around a boulder - pour cold water on rock. rock breaks apart and can be hauled away in pieces.
Wow, very creative and excellently shot. Congrats on the ribbon and new second-best score, Juliet! And you're on some roll over the past few challenges. :)
Oh man. . .the rock and the yard obviously don't detract much at ALL from this amazing photo. In fact, I rather like seeing a photo that looks lifelike and real rather than always looking like it was shot in a perfect studio. What a great photo! Congratulations on 3rd place!!!
Hon, if it weren't for your notes, I'd never have noticed any of those other things. There's this lovely Adonis and he's twirling fire and it's quite fascinating! And it's over 7 and a ribbon. No complaints from you, young lady!
I very much appreciate the idea, the model, the lighting, the actual flame - so much effort went into this shot, the downside is the background has several distracting features - still one of the best I've seen in voting.
