[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
On the beaches of Sihanoukville a popular hobby espoused by the locals is practiced every night. Two short chains with balls(of somewhat heavy material) at the ends are dipped in fuel and lit on fire. The operator then twirls them in a wonderfully rythmic manner that borders on dance and is completely mesmerizing to the onlooker.

Steve,

A very nice, dramatic capture. I'm glad that you included the notes so that we have some context as well. Personally I would have preferred a plain frame (white or black) but that's a matter of personal preference.

Hi, Steve. I like this photo. Movement, fire...great capture. Hm you made nice work with frame here following to fire light...but i think more "calm" frame may play better, helping to concentrate on this impressive image.
really like this photo
Dari

cool aciton.
flame trace color perfect.

thanks for share.

Hi Steve,
very nice shot with impressive colours. I like so much the contrast between the calm face of the girl and dramatic mouvements of the flame trace.
I visited Laos and Cambodia last june: fantastic countries!

Steve

nice shot. but what i really love about this photo is how the sand illuminates from the fire, that it seperate itself from the black backgroud, as for the frame it is very good that it attracts too much attention.

Hi Steve
I love this shot and its framing is brilliant.
The movement of the fire ball is very well captured.
Well done and TFS
Dimitris
