Fiery Fairytale

This picture is the result of the longest time I've ever spent editing, 12 hours in a row for two photos. Where's the line between passionate and obsessed?

The fire is shot piece by piece out in a big wet field, (freezing our feet off getting these shots.)

The man is shot seperatly in my living room, so is the blanket. The crackles on his body is a cracked paint texture.

I could have given this just 4 star but that would mean I am bias because I am not a fan of unrealistic photographs. Since it is just me the fair score is 5 star because this is an awesome photo, and it relates to all the work behind the scene. The improvement I could only suggest is crop it a little more there is too much space on the bottom part of the image. It will zoom more on the subject and will show more

Hey Jaydie, thanks a lot for your comment, indeed I could crop a little more. (I have to admit I just love the reflections in the grass a little bit too much maybe.) Thanks for the rating!
