Description Taken on the beach in Cairns, Queensland, Australia.

February 2004.

NB: This is in my scraps because I don't consider it refined or high quality enough to be in my formal gallery. If you disagree - let me know. I like this one because it has a lot of memories attached to it. That, and it's damn cool!

Regardless of the quality of the shot, the FEEL of the shot and the instant that you captured it make it captivating and eye-catching. The tunnel of fire speaks on symbolic levels as perhaps an explosion of the soul.

I think this is a very special, excellent shot.

Hey i think this is pretty cool! I see nothing wrong with it and would probably consider it in your formal gallery.

It's very cool. I can see why you didn't put it in your gallery, but I think if you maybe enhanced it a bit in Photoshop, or something, it would definitely be something to put in your gallery.

The sad thing is, I spent ages enhancing it as it is

I see... Well, it's really up to you. It still looks cool to me, and even without any more refining, I think it'd be okay in your gallery. Your call, sir.

thats a really cool shot i think. not sure which i would put it in. i think it could go in your gallery if you wanted, but depends what you want to use it for i suppose. the fire was captured very nicely though

I love Poi. Awesomely captured, you exposed it perfectly, it almost looks like a fractal.

I think it's rather cool, I love the sense of movement and the huge contrast between the colours. The only "bad" part is that the low part is a bit too blurred, but the rest it's awesome

btw. good choice with the frame!

The lower part is the reason this wasn't submitted as a Deviation. Thank you for the feedback though!
