I agree, it would be nice to see the face in this shot. Very nice exposure on the flames though, they're sharp and I like the extra curl on the top right. It might also be nice to see a wider crop of this with more space on the left and top.

All in all, well captured.

cheers,
fireguy

A dynamic, fun shot. I like how the tattoo is framed by the flames, but I (think I) wish I could see the end of the flame on the right.

Interesting capture.
I think that a little bit of powered down fill-flash might have worked even better than just the light from the torches.

Very striking. I only miss his face but am glad for his tatoo.

Wow - great timing to capture this. Seeing the facial expression would have given it something more IMO.

Great shot. Perfect shutter speed here. Not completely thrilled with the crop. But good job of displaying the motion of theflames while keeping the man relatively crisp.
