Oh I wish I was there to see that! :D But this is so engaging and powerful, I almost feel that I was. I think my favorite part is all the little sparks flying off from that central column of fire. So incredible, and I love the middle onlooker. xD He is very excited.

Amazing capture. :nod:

I do feel it's a small shame that there are people behind the performer, as that sort of ruins the effect because we are drawn to them as well... but I guess it adds more of a human quality to things, and it says that there are people admiring what he can do.

The timing is excellent and I think you've captured the ferocity well with the saturation and the brightness. It's great how much depth there is from the contrast and the way the colours are so strong as well, in a sense...

I think it's pretty interesting how the flames take on a new life in the way it is shaped, the way some areas are whiter than others and whatnot.

Great framing, especially with the portrait format being able to capture as much as there is there. Heck, that doesn't make sense. >.<

Anyway, it's a lovely shot! :D

Amazing detail on the swirls in the flame itself. The red-and-black works really well here.
