 This is a horse head statuette, placed in front of a large screen TV, displaying an image of an inferno. I like it, as an abstract concept. Not sure how it will do at DPC – a little outside the DPC standards I fear. Anyway, tweaked a lot in raw to get the underexposed image back to something cool. Then lots of hue/sat and channel mixer adjustments, 4 or 5 NI passes and a few USM passes. Cropped, rotated, saved for web.

I predict either 6.2 or a 4.5 This will be an interesting test of DPC tastes.

I was born in the (Chinese) Year of the Fire Horse (1966), so I appreciate this shot a lot more than most who posted comments on it! I was one of your 9s.

Very dramatic! I'd like to know what was going on here...a mustang hood ornament cast into a volcano? The mind boggles!

it looks a way over processed..and the shape of horse head is so unnaural

Thats pretty cool! Definitely a different silhouette. The harsh red and oranges fit here more than some.

Fire and horse doesn't mix for me? It is a great silhouette of the horse but the background puts me right off!

Some parts of the silhouette are lost in the craziness of the background
