.... fire in the sky

Comment:
I think the moon is a little blured and thought the sun was the fire in the sky? I do like the composition of the picture though, gives a good feeling of space. As for fire? not sure it meets the challenge.

Not the first time I've said this, a great picture but imho does not fit the true remit of the challenge.

Fire Red Berries

Well composed picture and the berries are named 'fire' but I really don't think it meets the challenge (maybe I'm to litteral in my thinking)

My personal thought is a ribbon is on its way!
Talk about cliches, but this is probably the best match shot I have seen. Focus is spot on and the straight lines of the smoke turn what might have been a good shot into a winner, the title also leads me to think of the 'other' person (so simple but yet conveys so much)

Trying to find a negative I'd say the match may be a little overexposed

Ok, I'm a sucker for this kind of shot, its going in my favourites but I just don't see the fire element.

Love it!
I see you needed validation (after I voted) can't wait to see how you did this. If I put my 'picky' head on the button on the cuff is a little distracting

Thanks for all your comments, I guess 4.2 is a decent starting point. If I get time I may retake the picture using your suggestions (focus is a pretty basic one lol). Looking forward to your comments in the fire challenge.

If the brown stone wasn't there I'd like this picture, I'm glad it is as it really adds to the scene, lovely shot. Not exactly a technical comment but this picture sends my mind driffting, rather than see the textures I can feel them.

I like this shot Tim, a majestic preditor and the crop on his fin seems to add to the effect, how big is he? I guess the pic was taken at an aquarium but have you psd the background?
