LOL, I love it! Is this HDR, Lucisart filter, or the Draganizer action? Whatever it is, the result is awesome. Even though the highlights in the umbrella are lost, I think it actually works in this shot since you're trying to stress how incredibly bright it is. Very creative and great composition! 8 from me.

Awesome shot! The composition is superb and I love how sharp the shot is for being a night shot. :) The only possible improvement I can see would be if the highlights in the fire weren't so hot (no pun intended) so the flames themselves showed up. However, that being said, this exposure allowed you to get more light on the fire eater. Overall great shot! 8 from me.

By far the most creative shot I've seen in the challenge. While the highlights on the top of the umbrella are a bit hot, I think it's worth it for the awesome overall exposure you got. :) Also, great choice on the uber-colorful shirt! I think it really tied the shot together. 8 from me.

Absolutely gorgeous light. Excellent balance of exposure between the sky and sea. Was a graduated neutral density filter used or just some good Photoshop editing? :) The saturation level and colors are awesome! 8 from me.

I don't know what it is about ring lights that I dig so much, but I really do! This is a great photo and the wide angle you used is perfect for exaggerating the heart glasses. :) I actually don't mind the reflection of the ring light, especially since the catch lights in the cat's eyes are awesome! 8

F***ing sweet! I absolutely love light painting, and this is a prime example. In addition to the great silhouette, I really dig the small amount of light that spills over near the edges to give the front some definition. Then the halo is just icing on the cake. 10! :)

I really like the radial pattern that the point of focus becomes less sharp from. Lensbaby? It really draws the eye right to the subject, which is in great focus. Excellent lighting as well. :) 8 from me.

I absolutely love this. I'm sure some people will complain about blown out highlights, but I totally dig the editing on this. 8 :)
