Kook sets fire to Coney Island

Cute and engaging, with beautiful vibrant colour, and interesting elements such as the flame, and the matte behind him. Cropping or composition might be a bit tight to the top, and there are some blown highlights. Cute risk you took with the title, but not sure it's too photojournalismy. (Sorry about that word.) Otherwise a great photo that is very engaging.

I'm not all that fond of the perspective though it does emphasize the point you make with the title. I think the overall tone of the shot could be helped a bit by de-brightening it, either through curves or maybe contrast? It does make you smile, though!

This I liked. Colors are vibrant, picture tells a story. About the only nit (and I have to say that I didn't even notice it while voting) is that his face is a bit overexposed. Loved where you caught him with respect to the canvas behind him. Quite a fun picture!

The quality of the water is very fitting for your film theme and title. But with the fish of similar color it leaves your photo looking a little bland. A tighter crop on one of the fish(or a more bunched up cluster of fish) would put a little more oomf into the photo.

Yep, that's a dirty pond. Poor fish! I like the muted tones, but wish the fish in upper right was more in focus.

As a performer who plays with fire as well, I enjoyed this shot. Good colors (maybe saturated just a tad bit more) and the flame looks great. You caught a moment in a performance that is alot of fun. His face seems a bit washed out. And the background image on the canvas is a bit of a distraction. At first I thought hew was wearing a hat or had weird hairdo. A vertical shot may have been nice as his outfit probably looked pretty cool. That would have garnered the pic more interest I think. Overall a fun shot. I gave this a 6.

I gave a 4 on this one. The colors are a bit flat. The position of the llamas head would have been better if cocked down looking at the camera a bit. A position where you may think he is looking at who he is going to spit at (which would have been you). More of a protrait pose (if you can get a llama to pose for a portrait - lol) would have helped. Also the trees are a distraction. A solid sky background would have been very nice, especially with him being off centered. Selective saturation on him would have made him stand out a bit better as well.

I think a dead or very sick fish would have gotten the point across more. overall it seems fairly boring. the blurry botttom gives it a very dirty pond feel so good job there.

Sounds more like a rock group than a movie title to me.
