Nice shot.

[Sergio M.]

That's a hot shot!
Kidding aside, well done on catching the flame.

I am confused...there is a squirting of flame in the woman's arm (right side) like her hair will be burning too...is that part of the pink cloud like part? You did a good job there.

Great juxtaposition and reflection!

Wonderful capture...

Well taken, like the bonus blur in the flame and nice use of the background, the stance of the girl compliments the guys pose well; you know what a camera club judge would say about the girls right hand though (still what do they know eh?? ) . . . Thanks for sharing.

Great image John, super juxtaposition

Thanks all for the comments.

Izzie, it's a shop window. What you are seeing is the reflection of the flames in the glass.

John, long ago realised that especially in the UK, judges are a very mixed bunch. Once heard one confess that had he been viewing the entry on the club's calibrated projector instead of his out of date Sony Trinitron 17"monitor, he would have selected a different winner. Can't take credit for the missing arm. That's down to the whoever produced the window display. (visible on Google Streets , on the left just over the bridge in Whitby).

Nice crop..Just enough information for me to make it even more interesting and fun. Well shot. :-)

Just goes to show my judgment is out of the window when I just want to go to sleep. I will ignore my little doggie next time and let Bill stand up to be her butler instead...

No Sharon, just waited for the moment. (All lies - I used the continuous shoot mode). The most difficult problem was getting a clear shot through the crowd watching him. Interesting character. He claims to be the last of the few. He also reclined on a bed of nails and walked over hot coals.
