At first I had trouble making out that this was person on his back. Personally I would have liked a tad more light to fall on his face. (I'm sure that was out of your control though). The fire is excellent and the light that does fall gives the person a nice copper glow. All in all, great job!

Nice capture, I really like this one. I do wish that I could see just a wee bit more detail in the face. Well done

the lighting is fantastic, but when combined with the foreshortening it makes this image read very poorly... I stared in great confusion for a while before I really figured out what I was looking at. The right foot is what really gets me. It's the most distinct body part in the image, and yet it was hard for me to tell what it was at first, and how it connected to the rest. It was obviously a piece of a person, but I just didn't know what. If the foot weren't visible, I could easily see this as an abstract, and I think it would be much stronger for it.

From my meager experance that isn't a easy shot to pull off as well as you did. Very nice job.

Took me a minute to figure out what was going on. Interesting that you find this position and composition interesting.. It doesn't do much for me though.

This is a good shot of a fire dancer as he lays posed on the ground balancing the burning stick on his raised leg. The play of light on his skin creates a warm orange hue that is complementary to the skin tones. The critique I have on this photo is that unfortunately his head/face is in shadow that we are unable to see his expression. If the viewer could see his expression and the face of this fire dancer it would go a long way to strengthening the visual interest of this photo.

Interesting angle and image. I would have liked to see a bit more detail on the face. This was kinda hard to figure out at first glance, but interesting enough to keep me looking.
