This is a good shot, but I'd place it in a holiday album rather than a night shot competition. I think it would be slightly more impressive if the back ground were more interesting, and there was less light that wasn't caused by the fire. I'll give you 8 for the skill of capturing, but 4 for the scene, setting and relevance. So I leave it at 6.
Excellent shot, great feeling of motion. Very dynamic. Might have cropped off the section on the right to lose the slightly distracting street light, I don't think the loss of the other figure in the background would have reduced the impact.
Nice shot. I think we're going to have to add fire poi to the list of DPChallenge cliche images along with waterdrops and martini glasses. :) This one is extra nice, though, with the crowds watching in darkness and the two separate dancers.
