I love photos with "motion" and I think this is an amasing photo. Great use of low speed which gave this unique effect!
And the title u gave is perfect.

Whoa, I feel like I'm looking at a rave picture. I'm guessing the you put something on the end of a rope and had the subject swing it around him/her. If this is what you did... you beat me to the idea...it's an awesome idea and it turned out perfect. Great shot you have here, and instant from me

The concept is nice, and well done, though the added black space to the top of the image distracts from the photo, and makes me feel like the cropped areas had a lot to hide, thinking about that shouldnt be on my mind while looking at this, its a nice photo! but im sure you could have done better without cropping or adding black to the image to create a different format

nice work, but i feel it is presented in a not so great way

Woah, I love it! My friend, Schwarzman, sent me this link out of the blue and I reluctantly clicked it. At first, it seemed like a black box, but as I scrolle down, woaaaaah. I love the lighting on this piece. You did a simply marevolus job. Congrats to you. (: *high five*

What is it? a torch? anyway, omg.... brilliant stuff! I like that kind of stuff!

Great Shot, love the lighting and sky.
Nice environnement too.

The text could have been semi-transparent tho.
but that's just my humble opinion.

Fantastic and absolutely stunning

Almost like a cage of fire... the sky looks so black and the only light being provided is from the cage. The glow in the grass looks so cool... this is fantastic!

One of the best photos I've ever seen here. Instant favorite...and I don't add things to my favorites lightly. Normally typo on a photo doesn't look good but this looks perfect. Simple and elegant. But overall very powerful. Love it!

That's awesome, what is it, a torch? My dad did that same sort of thing. He had my mom spell out her name with a sparkler on long exposure then hit the flash at the end so it showed her with her name spelled out in front of her.

digitalstory [2003-05-09 02:07:23 +0000 UTC]

This looks very sci-fi, the ball of light looks like a special effect. Excellent shot and creativity. Well done.

Wow this is really awesome. All my works submitted so far have been digital stuff... I'm itching to use my camera more

All I can say is, this is perfect. The fire is cool, the exposure is awesome, and the negative space above you makes the composition very dynamic. +fav

This is so beautiful. I love the wide lenght it's perfect, it's gives the photo some suprising effect... the change from pitch black to the bud of fire in the golden ground... excellent.

What is more beautiful than nature's most powerful weapon?
And you captured it perfectly...as if you had it under your control
I pretty much like the darkness around it and the format used...
Great pic, Mistress of Fire
