Fire Shows (no fireworks)

My congratulation for the contest winner! The author made not only technically perfect capture under the unsuitable conditions of dim light. This photo conveys the inexpressible atmosphere of sacred event with the millennial roots. The fire in its humble container here symbolizes the unity between mundane and sacred being. It is emphasized by the wide-angled optics and composition. (accent on fire against the crowd, Brahmin on the land, mysterious dark water and live air in th frame). All the elemental forces are present. Bravo!

The author technically intersting depicted the moment of the free flight of the hoop, but the photo first of all is spectacularly figurative. The author captured psychological state of the young lord of the fire.. The boy is feelimng as a real lord! The fire is an elemental force but we see highly skilled subdual of it. Congratulations on the great image, dear author!

This photo is an excellent example of the highlighting of human communication with fire in black and white image. The graphic composition is dynamical the light in the scene is dramatic. The details are adjusted with high technical skill and related to general imagery. The photo wakes forgotten primal flllng of human after meeting with fire.

The photo is naturally fulfilled by the fire element. My congratulations! The author managed to focus an attention of the audience on the key subjects of the action while the unnecessary elements are exscinded by long-focused optics. The monk is mystically appearing behind the fire wall, however his gestures and emotions are clearly visible. The faces of other participants of this ceremony give the impression of a live fire, although they are far behind on the background.
