Have had this idea for a while, was going to use it for a "fire" challenge or something, but I thought it might suit self portrait alright. Pretty fun to shoot, and kinda hot:P But thanks to dad for thinking of the ingenious synthetic burning marshmallow!

Thanks for all the votes and comments!
This is the vibe I was going for in my photo:
Sorry Liv, I must've failed then, because an "adult magazine scene" was certainly not what I was going for here. Sorry to dissapoint you.

Very well done, fun whimsical shot! Those 5 twos were totally undeserved. There is NOTHING in that shot that makes it "adult magazine scene"...c'mon guys this is going overboard calling this an adult shot.
Congrats on the top ten. Very cute and sexy and funny -- and creative! This and Leo's photo were my personal favorites (not that the other winners weren't deserving, I scored them highly, too).
I think you'll get dinged for so called "overuse" of noise reduction. However, I think you did it with the intention of getting this effect. So...I'll rate it high.
I don't really consider this a "portrait shot" but, it's very well executed! Must have taken quite a bit to get the focus right in the lighting condidtions.
Nice lighting for this fun shot. I would have put another flash behind and left of the you to light up the back side, but thats just me. I am sure its scoring well! 8 from me.
Beautifully lit, funny set up, very nice image, but not your classic portrait shot. when the face is taking up less the five percent of the frame, its going to knock your score down a bit. full marks on everything else though.
