Challenge: Superstitions & Urban Legends (Classic Editing)
Camera: Sony DSC-F717
Location: Backyard
Date: Nov 1, 2002
Date Uploaded: Nov 3, 2002

 Printed a photo of the challenge web site (several times) and lite it on fire. It didn't want to burn, so I tried several flamables, finally resorting to good old gas! Finally, it burned pretty good! The idea here is burning the image of someone or thing you don't like will bring them/it harm. I don't really wish anybody harm, so this is just a joke.

I don't think people would normally think in terms of a website when it comes to something being "burned in effigy", but I guess it would work... Nice shot of the fire though. lhall

what's the point? effective pic, but does it fit the theme?

If this is what I think it is I like it. Well done. I really like it over all. Good idea. Only one like it in the bunch I've seen. Unique! Not good enough for a 10 but a solid 8. The more I think it is a dpchallenge vote sheet. I hope it is because I'm raising it to a 9 based on that, because of the idea of that.

nice capture of the fire. The light (or lack there of) is perfect to set the mood and tone.

Interesting subject. I'm kind of distracted by the artifacts on the lower left side, and the lower and upper borders.

I like the humor in the shot. Very well done although I would have like a little sharper
