Taken at the Beltane festival. These shots were a grate challenge, trying to get live action after dark.

I ran the photo through Neat Image to clean up the noise generated from such a high ISO setting, it was then cropped and sharpened a little.

what kind of voodoo do you do? A bit dark but interesting.

Stunning. The man's partial face as he looks at the woman takes this shot to the edge of greatness IMO. Additional thoughts: I think that the flames at the very top almost look like demonic eyes . I think I would crop this into a "portrait" format vs. the square, losing all of the torch at the left, and maybe 1/2 of the torch on the right. Lastly, trying to decide if the man at center detracts or is not a factor. hmmm... (9) for now, will revisit.

...Just noticed the reflected face above her left breast. The man at the center comes alive! 10

Now this is a crazy shot. The smoke at the right almost looks like a face. Quite interesting. Not making a connection with the title. She looks like she's having fun.

I like the faces in the background. Great border, makes it look like a polaroid!

Where and what on earth is this?! Looks like fun! A little too dark here though, and the composition doesn't have as much impact as it should.

Interesting shot. Original shot. Fresh. Nice exposure, (with the camera, I mean) Looks like a fun and exciting night life. Does this image come with directions on how to get there?

In honor of John of Iverkething? At the northerly latitudes where this originates, even the lewd aspects are unlikely to approach full nudity -- it's just too damn cold. No points deducted for that, however.

I wish the shadows were slightly lighter, since I can see the arms of a figure in the center, but can't really make out the rest. I do like the face being lost into shadow on the right, and the smoke in the background.

The border makes it look like a poloroid, I like the torches and would love to know what the heck was going on. It's not everyday you see a naked woman surrounded by torches. As for the the quality...you've got the fire down perfectly too bad the one person in the lower right has only part of a head, I'd like it better without it altogether.
