The shapes in the flames are astounding! Maybe I've had too much to drink, but the center one is definitely two trumpeting elephants.

Love the lighting and the effects in this photo. I definitely want to see this photo on the front page. The only really picky thing I can come up with for this photo is that it could be a hair straighter. It does not hurt the photo but I am just being picky. 9

The photos are good but the compositing needs some work.

the balance between the saucers and buildings look nice. yet, the flames look disembodied and very out of place. I think maybe some dark dodging or something to add a more connective element between them.

Nice one. The saucers look very convincing, the fires don't work as well though.

This looks like one of those images Art Roflmao does for the forum threads.

excellent image. my only suggestion to make it more believable would have been to burn the buildings but still a great take on the challenge.

This has B movie all over it. Where is my T&A? Probably the same place as my high vote, and that is absent.

a good idea but, I don't know why, the realization seems few credible.
