Great shot! Your technique for the capture has worked well here. Nicely done with the focus and the light especially! I guess this is revealing movment?

Wow, Cleo you did a great job on this. I tried very hard to get a good photo in Hawaii of the fire dancer--so I know it isn't easy! Beautiful color, clarity and light. Great composition. Looks like a winner to me. :)

Here is a picture with fine initial impact due to its unusual nature and strong contrasts. The fire circles make a great center of interest.

Hey, Cleo! I love these fire twirler entertainers. Their skills always produce amazing memories and photographs. I love how this shot looks like two intertwined rings, like wedding bands! It is beautiful and something not everyone gets to see very often, so very original, too.
The neat green lights in the background add a bit or merriment to the scene you have captured and your POV allows us to see the decorative table in the background, setting a contest for the figure's actions.
Well done. Glad to see you back and posting again. Good luck in the contest with this impressive piece.
Hugs, Sara / Artragist

Thank you so much for your through review. I wished I would have the two people in the background a bit better positioned, but we can't have everything.
I'll be on for two more days trying to catch up. Than we have two fly back to Texas for medical but I hope not for long this time.
