Stunning. The man's partial face as he looks at the woman takes this shot to the edge of greatness IMO. Additional thoughts: I think that the flames at the very top almost look like demonic eyes . I think I would crop this into a "portrait" format vs. the square, losing all of the torch at the left, and maybe 1/2 of the torch on the right. Lastly, trying to decide if the man at center detracts or is not a factor. hmmm... (9) for now, will revisit.

...Just noticed the reflected face above her left breast. The man at the center comes alive! 10

I agree with you,artvet, the frame looks great with this photo. And while the sky and tree are both great, what I like best about your photo is... the fence! Great shot, congrats on your high finish.

Poorly cropped; wish the second calf was either completely in the frame or cropped out altogether. Also, the shot is too small - the tutorial on sizing photos for challenges might help. (6) for effort.

The lines of light that cross the windshield really make the photo for me. (7)

Instantly made me think of the "runaway bride" from Georgia that's been in the news lately! The woman's reflections make this photo IMO. (7)
