The Firebender

Idea is good, execution can be better - maybe darker background or farther away? I bet it was hard to keep hand still - maybe 1 or 2 seconds?

I like the idea (not just fire like in many other entries :), but I think execution can be improved: maybe shallow depth of filed to separate from background, or even different background to make fire "more visible"; lighting of her face can be better

Interesting. It may be more eye catching with more redish monochrome.

maybe not exactly fire, but very good picture. I could imageine how nice it is in large print, but for that I would burn two lights on left side.

little bit more of silhouette elements would help

Isolations by Contrast

I think just left side alone would get pretty high score; for whole thing artist should follow his own feelings and he/she does; it is interesting anyway; I'm not a member to vote :)

wow! what a face, what a picture! I'm still trying to figure out which entry will be the best for object isolation by contrast, but this one deserves 10 anyway! :) hm-m-m. I would say maybe hairs on right side look somewhat .... how/what to say? well, never mind! maybe nose is too white? so, it brings you from 11 to 10 ;)

very impressive work! for improvement - I noticed on glasses some reflection of light that is probably possible to reduce/avoid.

Thank you everyone for voting and comments! First time in top 10!

I'll try to do something interesting next time and definitely will try to improve execution!

I like the way short focal length lens worked here and this uniformly covered area. I don't feel this is matching challnge well, but otherwise very nice.
