This is really good. On my screen, I like this a lot better when the darkness is turned down a bit to really highlight those eyes and teeth... the graffiti is somewhat superfluous and could stand to be a fair bit lower in lightness.

This picture looks amazing like that, the flow is improved greatly IMHO.

I'd rather be looking at the way the fire complements the creepy faces than just the rather nondescript character of the fire itself.

Very nice work. Great capture of movement in the flame with excellent sharpness on the poi swinger. The background graffiti and low keyness works great too. Bumping up.

Back again - one of my top 3 favs for the challenge. Bumping up to a 9.

Coming back to comment and I think this is a fantastic image. Great movement and action. I love the graffiti art in the background and your choice of highlighting it really works well. The focus is excellent, the control of the lighting is perfect. Everything that needs to be seen is very well lit but not so much that its harsh or unattractive. I started this at a placeholder 5 but the more I look at it, the more I see different elements that have been handled very well and the more I like it. Bumping to an 8 and adding a favorite.
