Challenge: Fire II (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Casio Exilim EX-Z750
Location: Providence River Waterfire
Date: Aug 12, 2006
Aperture: f5.1
ISO: Auto
Shutter: 1/8 sec
Date Uploaded: Aug 13, 2006

This was an image taken at Waterfire in Providence, RI...I didn't have a tripod so had to balance the camera on a railing, which wasn't easy..took many shots but this one just seemed to stand out because the humans have a bizarre, Goya type imagery about them...had to clone out a couple of white spots from camera flashes, dodged and increased the saturation in red a little on the people, levels, curves, channels, usm, sharpen edges, burned a few areas, cropped.

With the fire being burned out and the people in the background I find it busy and distracting.

Good idea but this has a snapshot feel to it

I probably would have tried to go a little darker to make it look like the fire was actually floating in the air, but I suck at this, so what do I know?

Nice capture here. This looks like WaterFire in Providence. I was there as well doing my homework. Good job of capturing the entranced crowd.

The fire is so bright it's totally blown out. As to the composition I keep thinking "...and?" There's a whole audience there. What purpose does the fire serve?

Allot of fire and it meets the challenge. However there is no WOW factor in the shot. 5
