So, where is the fire?
08/21/2006 01:23:45 AM
This is a fiery sky and so beautiful. Congratulations on your top 20 finish.

Fabulous shot! Great finish for a non-fire image :-) I wish I'd taken this one.

I'd be surprised if this doesn't have a coloured gif alongside tomorrow. Great shot, well observed drama in the sky.

Very nice lighting from the sun, which is fire.

That really works well for the challenge.

Nice sunset/rise but there seems a bit too much cloud in shot - maybe crop a bit of the top away?

You should do very well with this. Nice or better yet Great shot.

Looks to me like you saturated this to the red.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I believe the title is the only thing that ties your photograph to the challenge. A shame because it is a good sky shot.
08/16/2006 12:42:28 PM
This is a neat shot because the clouds aren't just colored orange but actually resemble flames somewhat.

Interesting take on the challenge. I love the colors and the cloud mass is amazing. I like how insignificant it makes the shoreline look and that's a very nice contrast - well envisioned. Though I can see this fitting the challenge in an abstract way I think, per the challenge description, that there should be actual fire in the images and so I am compelled to dock from this otherwise lovely image. I gave a 5.

Nice capture but DNMC. Sorry.
08/15/2006 08:30:46 AM
What fantastic colours, I had expected to see a few sunset shots but this one defintely has the fire in the sky effect! :o)

Stunning! My first 10 for this challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/14/2006 08:20:42 PM
That is quote a sunset! There are a couple spots in the sky where it looks like the curves got a bit out of control. I'm not sure the voters will buy this as fire since they seem pretty literal for this challenge.

08/14/2006 08:08:07 PM
well I have to say,even though theres no real fire here,its awesome.My favorite of the challenge.10

Nice take but for me it is about real fire. I am not totaly gonna DNMC you but if you had a real fire in the shot (Besides the sun) it would be 2 points higher. 5

Don't let the DNMC boo-birds get you down. Excellent take on hyperreality. You did nicely in that there isn't too much supersaturation. I do think, meh, is this really fire? but DPC has become WAAAAYY to narrow in their interpretations of challenges. So a big fat 8 from me. I'm sure it's gonna bump you from a 4.5 to a 4.55.... ;(

It sure does look like it's on fire! Great capture!

Would have loved a longer exposure to smooth out the water. The sky, however, looks particularly fiery. 7.

WOW! that really does look like fire!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/14/2006 03:34:58 AM
This looks very Rikkied/Achooied. If you don't know what I'm talking about then please ignore. :P What I'm trying to say is it looks really good. The saturation is a bit over the top but voters tend to like that. Good luck.

This is a great shot that I'm sure some viewers will say DNMC. Me? I love it, and can see where you were going with this. What a beautiful reflection of our giant ball of fire in the solar system.
