Maputo, I like the second image more than the first one.. The scale of fire shown in the first one is small.. did you try brightening the shadow region ..
I like the delicate line that passes from top to bottom in the first one
Thanks for sharing

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

I agree that the second image is much stronger. There is just enough detail to help a viewer's eyes move through the frame and discover new details.

thanks manoj and hank - rather than have two posts i included both here - i think that from a broader arty perspective this first may be more interesting (although it does have its flaws) but i agree that the second is more dramatic and illustrative of the issue! thanks

Strong image. Story makes me wonder if we'll ever be able to control our primal instincts.

I agree Stuart that the first image is more artistic-I like it a lot, but the second is certainly more powerful-especially at first glance.
