Burning of dreams

Thanks for your time, comments and rates

wonderful painterly quality and tones reminiscent of medieval still lifes. the face appearing in the smoke is beautifully done!

Fantastic,great lighting and idea.

Very Nice! Is that charcoal burning? Looks like a piece of meat. Also, what is that hanging in the middle of fire? Face looks spooky. Well done!

Exelent composition, brilliant idea. Best regards.

Wonderful still life. The flame takes it to another level. A great idea perfectly executed. Can't think of a thing to improve it.

he si !!! vera magia di artista ...fotografico !!! bravissimo... bellissima composizione e fantasia.... e fantastica foto...luci ombre.... BRAVO !!! per me...complimenti

Sergei, another excellent & fresh piece, you seem to have endless ideas of creativity, very well composed. I really enjoyed as always!!! Congr.

Thanks everyone for your comments!!It was really difficult to include real flame into this picture. Actually, its not a charcoal simply because it is burning slowly and in my case I needed something that burns quick enough to shaw the full flame as an exposure time was 20 sec during which I am painting with light brush. It's bandage soaked in spirit.I did nearly 30 attempts until got needed result.

Once again, I do appreciate the feedback

Great stuff Sergei, and it was really interesting to hear how you did it.

Very nice photo Sergei. I really love the face in the fire!

congratulation. I enjoy the flame

Interesting experience Sergei,and good result with the flame. I still think that the composition is a bit too crowded with ellements, which in themselves are very nice, so maybe do it again with less ellements so the main subject will have all the attention.

 

Happy Holidays and new year Sergei, to you and your family, Pnina

I really love this moodful composition, Sergei. I seem to be in the workplace of an alchemist or magician with all these different wonderful coloured and shaped attributes. The light is great and though it's pretty crowded everything is in balance here; there is not any distraction. I wish I was able to make such wonderful still lifes as you do. It's a miraculous job you did! Many greetings, Ada:)

 

PS Thank you very much for commenting my picture. I feel verry flattered!

Excellent! Great light and very beautiful tones (I cant't rate 77...)

The face behind the flame makes the shot. Very good! I agree that you could have less elements on the composition.

Outstanding still like. You always gives a special touch to your compositions.

you developed a certain special way of lighting - it works well with the magic ingredients here!

Sergei, would you like to take me under your wings and make me your student? I have so many miles to go and so many things to learn! Thank you for sharing, you became my inspiration :)

Best regards,

 

Peter

The tools setup, the composition, lighting & idea are all superb.

Beautiful Still life.

Excellent burning picture...how does work new Fuji ( does it sharp and wide dinamic range of light and colors ) ?????

As usual excellent and original work.

 

Je vous souhaite a vous ainsi qu'a vos proches un joyeux noel. Que l'annee 2006 puisse apporter la realisation de vos desirs les plus chers.

Another superb work, Sergei. I like finding a continuous improvement in your photographs. Regards!
