Where there's smoke...
by Mick

Comment:
This is excellent. It seems you have rotated the photo 90 degrres to the right which makes for an interesting composition and creates a greater sense of motion. Good idea and well executed. B&W works well. Virtually perfect capture technically. There is one little wisp of smoke I might have cloned out ... sort of a horizontal one at the top just to right of center ... but it's only a minor distraction. Among my top picks.

Nicely done. Smoke isn't as dramatic as some other shots in the challenge but including the candles and lighting just their tops makes for a stronger composition. Among my top picks.

I like the action of this shot. Technically good (focus, DOF, color, contrast, composition - although it feels a little bit weighted down on the left). Among my top picks.

Innovative idea well executed. Background and lighting are superb at highlighting the subject. Contrast works well. Focus and DOf are spot on. Interest ing composition. (10) Wondering how many light bulbs it took to catch the moment?

Feels way over processed. I notice it has been validated, so I'm sure it's legal but the feeling of being over processed is a distraction. Great as a poster. Not great as a photo.

Very nice, clearly focused, and well composed image. But what guidebook would I find it in?

The angle is a major distraction from this fine fine picture otherwise.

Nice sky but for a travel guide, I would think you'd want to focus on the attraction.

Intriquing photo but the halos seem over processed.
