Nice moment - interesting image that has a little too much contrast & is a little top-heavy - << 9 >>

Strong imagery :: nice B&W technique :: nice use of shallow DOF :: title works perfectly for the challenge

Missing the wow factor, though... << 7 >>

Funny! Excellent execution - lighting & exposure match really well + you can barely tell the key. I'll be surprised if you don't ribbon with this... << 10 >>

B&W is a nice choice here -- I would have tweaked the channels first to get some more texture overall -- Could use a bit more on the sharpness end, too...

Fiery Patterns

Comment:
Nicely composed & great subject, but I don't think you did the image any favors by boosting the colors like you did - those blues are downright annoying (but maybe this was a UV shot...)

If this was an IR/UV, then I think it would have been better served by bringing some of the bottom end back in & creating some dynamic range in luminance while possibly dialing back the sat just a skosh.
