What a lovely idea this is. I love the colour combinations and graphic feel to this. It is a lovely piece and is very eye-catching. Thanks yet again. Robin

    Thank you much Robin, I wished I had the two people in the background better positioned but in a unset action photo we seldom get everything we want. Well may I paint something similar.

    I think that is why I DO paint...I can always improve the picture LOL. Robin

Comment from Photography By SCT


This is a little trippy this one... The focus is definetly the fire rings and they have come up a treat. A really nice effect and balanced with two of them.. I even like the the fact the the person doing the twirling is blurred.. and most of image as a whole, but in this case I think it works in its favour.. nicely done..

    Thank you very much for your generous review. I wished I could have the background arranged a bit better but how arrange an action photo in a busy restaurant. We can't have everything.

Very nice work - the central figure looks very ghostly! Love the green lights in the background.
Good luck in the contest

This is quite amazing. Very nice work. This is a great entry for this contest too. I can barely see the dancer in the middle and the circular motion of the fire is spectacular. Very nice indeed.

    Thank you so much. This girl is an amazing dancer not more than my size or less. 5 feet 95 pound or so of bundled energy.

Wow this is a great shot. The light form the fire was captured beautifully. The fine details of the green lights are a wonderful feature in this shot. Looks like a fun and firey evening.

Spectacular! Almost unreal. It's like a Stargate episode - the silhouettes interfere with the fire, the background is very appropriate, extremely interesting!

High impact image with lots of interest. The rings provide a great, natural frame for the figure and the background items. A great action shot!
