[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here is another shot of the fire-breather and fire-eater who showed his kind of art at a city festival in northern Germany.

During his performance he tried to breathe the fire higher and higher, supported by the audience (they had to applaud and cheer).

This shot was taken at ISO 800.
In PP I cropped the image, cloned out some nasty shadows in front of the blue illuminated stage in the background, cloned out some red reflections on some parts to the right of the artist, selected the body and reduced the red colour of the skin to give it a more natural look, selected the fire and worked with curves to bring out the inner structure of the flames a bit better, resized the whole image

Any comments and critiques are as always appreciated.
Regards,
Britta

hi, britta! i think you timed the shot wonderfully... the way the flame just seems to top out, and the way the fire breather's expression is illuminated. if i'd nitpick it would be on the sharpness, but i wouldn't know how to set that up myself without bumping us the ISO.
cheers!

Hallo Britta,
ist wirklich gut gemacht - etwas unscharf zwar, aber bei völliger Dunkelheit - zumal man vorher ja die Belichtung nur schätzen kann - ganz OK. Ist immer blöd, wenn der Feuerspucker sich dann auch nur etwas bewegt. Da hilft nur eine super lichtstarke Optik. Insgesamt finde ich das Bild aber gut gelungen und die Farben sind natürlich geblieben. Deshalb von mir einen ganzen Smily. Gruss, Thomas
