beautiful helmet ..........

Hmmm.... a Captain's fire helmet, who in the world could this be? And they say MY work is distinguishable! Love the thought behind this, it's a wonderful shot.

LOL @ Locks...... I was gonna use flames..... but SOMEONE else has used that idea several times!!!!

@swordfish.... thanks... this is the good one. MY old one isn't red anymore.. can barely see any details now due to the soot.

brilliant

Hey nobody thinks any less of you Author, using fire is dangerous and you should probably leave it to professionals like me

Yeah I was thinking this was going to be the winner. Congrats! Well deserved.

Congrats! Well deserved

Congrats for your first place!

Congrats ........ .......... Great win ...........

Congrats, awesome shot

I know who you are And that's definitely hot

Does insanity run in your family - or is it just you?

you should use your avatar photo for this contest, coz this one is too hot!

Yowza!

As usual my friend, you have done it again, wonderful and I'll definitely NOT be repeating this one on you in this contest...LOL! Nice to meet you ...again. GL

Nice to meet you author, nice shot

You are multi-talented my friend.

you need some ointment for that burn, ouch, lets hope any injuries sustained were minor

Wait... are you a photographer, a crazy guy, a magician, or what?
Very cool shot!

Erikuri, I think the author might be all three!

Thanks for the comments everyone, Kyricom I'm the only crazy person in the family, you should hear what my mother says when she see's these kind of shots! Madeline there were no injuries here, I've been doing this for years now, I just learned a long time ago to keep my facial hair trimmed And erikuri swanze is right, I guess it would be yes to all! Although technically this is considered "side show" because there isn't a trick to it, you actually have to put the flames in your mouth

Yes, I already knew from the light on authors teeth that it is not in the 'illusion' category. Although now thinking about it Erikuri, I would simply use the term "Artist" instead of 'crazy' in the sense that the author has probably had years of practice.

Smokin'

I don't even know why I entered a photo in this contest after seeing your submission!!!!

niicoleyy, do you mean to say that "Fire Eating 101" was not a prerequisite to "Photography 101" at your high school?

@ swanze I believe every respectable high school should add this to their curriculum

@niicoleyy Don't ever let an someone's entry stop you from posting, you have some great talent from what I have seen. Besides you've got the cute factor going for you, I've only got stupidity on my side!

I guess I have a little bit of insecurity about posting my stuff, because I've never actually been taught anything about photography... ever, haha. But then again, that's why I'm on sites like this- to learn.

A bit over exposed

Good capture.....Nice shot...
