I'd never have thought of using crumpled paper as a background. It works well here. Thanks. 7

A steady hand - very effective. I'm sure that you'd be great with those electric wire games, too. 8

Absolutely beautiful. Only 1 tiny quibble - the strong shadows detract somewhat. I know that with a single, moving light source, it's difficult to avoid shadows. 8

Interesting stance on this challenge - the flame certainly isn't stationary.

Lovely image overall. I wish that the centre was a touch more in focus. 6

The Katana's War Paint

Nice use of white balance to allow the filtered colour to come through. I'm not sure about the application, though. The blue works very well - cold and threatening (a star filter would have made the hotspot sparkle). The red, though, is less menacing than simply warm. The other way around might have worked better for me. 6
