a bit out of focus, but nice subject. the date in the corner is distracting.

I LOVE this idea. I just wish the white balance had been better, and the flame more in focus. I don't think I need to mention the date stamp in the corner.

Did you actually light yourself on fire? That's crazy. :)

Would of been so much better with out the date. only thing else I can say is I hope you gave him something for this for lighting him on fire.

OK, if this is not scanned, then why would you choose to have a date plastered on the photo? That date stamp really kills an otherwise solid photo.

Fire is difficult to stop motion on, huh? If possible, maybe changing shutter speed or aperture to reduce the hot spot look of the flame. Did you think of calling it "heartburn?" :-)

i dont really understand how you did this. that doesnt affect my rating, though. also the motion aspect isnt clear. yes fire moves, but this fire looks blurred out.

This is frightening, therefore compelling. Extra points for emotional impact. But tell me please that no one was hurt doing this.

Turn your date function off.... Those are for snapshots. I think that a better solution could have been found for "stopped motion".

hot shot! original idea but subject not in charge hear
Nikon Coolpix 995
 04/15/2002 12:09:00 PM
This doesn't have much impact for me. I would like to see the flames more crisp and defined, but that would probably make the rest of the image too dark. Maybe get some secondary lighting? Not having tried this, I don't know what kind of challenges this shot presented.

Are you crazy? LOL All you need is ALL that water I am seeing in the other shots this week:)

Is the guy ok? This just doesn't look safe. I just don't like it.
 04/15/2002 08:31:00 AM
i'm very scared. this picture captures a great mood, but the date in the corner makes it look much too amateur.

dramatic, but not very well framed/ shot.

Oh man, the things we do for these challenges. Very original.
