Fiery Sunset as seen from BART
by handicapjoe

Comment:
Quite an extreme aspect ratio, which works well here. A bit of post processing perhaps to beef up the blues to complement the firey hues would have balanced out the image overall.

Limited time frame to get the perfect shot and so this carries a relatively high difficulty. However, if only the red car was placed more in the frame, ideally a third in from the right (with room to move into the left hand side) just going over the flames would have been great to see. You have a fairly complex, irrelevent and distracting background, a tighter crop on the red car and the flames would have made for a more simple and dramatic shot

Unique subject and only really let down by the composition I feel - needs a slight cw rotation and the car is travelling into the left hand side so more empty space for the car to "move" into would normally work well except that here the flames are the main subject so its very difficult to know what to suggest. Perhaps a totally different viewpoint - wide angle, from the ground focusing on the back wheel with the flame trail only might have been simpler and more effective

Difficult I do I know - but I feel its vital to get a sharp focal point in here somewhere to offset the blurred flames.

On the one hand, its nice to see something other than a candle, but this is perhaps pushing the competition brief a little hard.

The lighting on the face is perhaps not the most flattering as it has made the skin quite textured and shiny in places. You've done well to get the sharpness on the leading eye given the low light conditions

Lovely warm tones but could have been expanded via levels or curves to use more of the top end for increased contrast. I feel this could be sharper, perhaps this is due to the resize for submission - I always do a final USM (100, 0.5, 0) after the resize

Obviously without the title, it wouldn't be related to the challange, even with the title it is pushing the theme a bit too hard. The lighting on the figure is nice.

Clever title, nice and simple compositions, I just feel the texture on the glass could be a bit sharper

Boom!

Well composed, a bit of a yellow colour cast in the foreground, if this was more neutral, or even pushed the other way into the blue to give a moonlit feel then I think that would make an improvement.
