I almost missed the smoke here. The tongue is in great focus as well as the matches but the fire itself seems just a bit too blurry or monochromatic or something. The setup must have been fun for this and for the most part it works - the way it's lit the smoke looks great - the nostrils and fire itself are my only cricisms here - the overall feeling of this would probably be better without the light on the nose.

I'm not sure I even want to know how this was done!! I like that you've managed to keep some detail in the flame, the composition is good and the smoke adds to the image :o)

Ouch. I think this would work better with a lot fo shadow on the model's face and more color in the lips. Female would work better for dramatic impact.

Did he burn his nose hairs??? YIKES. Kind of interesting, but almost disturbing.

Ouch! The smoke is really neat. The flame is a little overexposed. I think the sticks or whatever is being lit takes away a little. Maybe something spicy like a pepper on fire or even a pepper in front of the sticks may have been better. It's a still a crazy shot, though!

no way!!! that's amazing, this should do well for the novelty factor alone...well done and good luck...

Having another look, this is amazing, the blue smoke and the title are fantastic...bumping to 10

it's too bad the lighting wasn't a little darker for this. And I have to ask. Did you burn your/his tongue??
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Maybe one of your outtakes could work in Stupid Stupid? :P

And here I was only worried someone would burn their house down!

Neat idea, but boy, the shot is right up your nose... ;) That's not gettin' ya bonus points. I wish the coloring was better and the flame a bit less exposed. 5
