fire on snow

...and cold

Looks like a crowd huddling around a fire for warmth - great idea.

great idea ... congrats for ur work ... greetings from Kolkata ...

I am so impressed. Incredible, beautiful, and excellently captured. And yes, they look like stick-figure people. May I ask, if this was indeed manipulated (you didn't check the unmanipulated box), what the manipulation was?

This is so pretty. The picture is fascinating, as is fire. The matches look like people congregating on an accident.

BEAUIFUL PICTURE AND SO WELL DONE 6/6

Xcellent

Yes great idea! Who would have thought, stick some matches on the snow and put them on fire. The result is amazingly original and effective. Gratuluje i pozdrawiam!

...and leave Your opinion...it is great pleasure for me...what do You think about green head one...rycho.

Ryszard, I am ashamed to say I didn't even notice that one hadn't burnt. Brilliant! Like he's an observer at the scene, not a participant. Extraordinary.

...there is no manipulation...greetings from Poland...Ryszard.

They're after you!!! this image is SO cool (no pun intended, although it WAS a good one...)- could be a political statement, used in an anti-drug campaign or bemoaning the evils of peer pressure...Truth to tell, it's pretty humourous, but what I especially love is the smoke going up out of the frame...Thanks for posting, Rycho!

This is a really creative & brilliant idea, very well executed Ryszard, love it!!!! Best regards.

There's not much original these days, but this is truly original. My hats off to you for thinking up such a unique shot.

Can't express my feelings. Just brilliant.

Ryszard, before I read your title or noticed the background is snow I thought it was smoke. With that in mind, it looks like a battlefield just after the fighting subsides.

 

Excellent imagination leading to excellent originality. Very well done.

I agree with Lee Park's take on this. It looks like a deadly contagion moving from left to right and about to take the last person, I mean match. Effective analogy for many things.

....Thank You very much for discussion...Rycho.

My suggestion is thea this shot is a fine abstract rapresentation of the war.

i love this original concept, (IMHO) i would suggest to improve the litle "dull" backgeound and it would be a perfect shot... congrats

Interesting idea! I like it. I think it could be a small amount brighter.

Excellent! You made me inspire by this one.

I like the backgroun very much, like a painting.

very original and well executed!

A thinking-man's picture. Read whatever you want in this, while enjoying it in the abstract. Very effective, and certainly original, perhaps the product of twisted mind.

this is a bright idea!

I love your philosophy!

Best regards, Max
