Get the fire back (2)

And again the fire-eater and fire-breather...
But this time he ate the fire. I don't know how he did it but he managed to get the fire back to his mouth. Although it looks like it he didn't breathe it in this case. Don't ask me how, I can't describe it any better.

PP: Cropped the image, cloned out some reflections, selected the body and reduced the red level to give the skin a more natural look, selected the main flame and reduced blue and green to bring out some of the structures, reduced brightness a bit, sharpened, resized and sharpened.
I know that the flame is too bright at its centre. But I had to be quick and wasn't able to focus to another point to get better lightning conditions. I hope to get better shots the next time I meet someone like this guy.

P.s.: I don't know how it happened but after uploading this image the right arm somehow disappeared. The whole image got darker. In the original version the arm is visible. Sorry!

PS & Neat Image

I cropped the black BG, made it brighter and reduced green and blue in Photoshop.
Used Neat Image to reduced luminance noise and sharpened it. Sharpened edges in PS after resizing.
