I can almost see the velvet curtain and the fire, but not the peacock :) I like the marbling effect you have here in the column rising up to the blue bits. Wait, are the blue/purple bits the peacock? Interesting image, enjoyed it.

    Thank you very much. Excellent assumption; yes the blue and purple a e parts of the peacock. When you look right in the middle of that blue purple you will find the head of the peacock there. It resembles also the masked head of the stylized dancer in the part of the firebird between his raised arms [wings]. :-)

Very unusual. I like the fire part of it... not sure about the purple stuff... but really like the background fire. Very creatively done.

    Thank you very much! Ups, the purple part are head and arms [wings] of the dancer in the part of the firebird. I guess I know the ballet and its modern interpretations using laser techniques to well and drove my abstactions a bit to far. LOL :-)

I love colour and in this shot, I cannot even begin to count the colours, shades and hues. The definition of the figure sets itself in the forefront of the image and the moving lines take the eye on a wonderful journey. thanks for sharing.

The lighting on this image is striking. The color rays pull the eye into the center of the shot very nicely. I like the background colors a lot not quite so sold on the pink as center of interest.

    Thank you very much for your kind review and your input. But what pink? I do not have pink in the picture, only different shades of red, overlaid with a white veil on the dress and accentuated with tads of blue, green and purple.

My first reaction? What the hell is this? It's a godod thing you tell a good story or I'd have given you a two. Now I see how it fits. But don't expect me(or anyone else)to walk into an art gallery and see this with out some prose to go with it.

    Thank you very much for your kind review. Don't worry it never will be in an art gallery, It is made for an ballet.

    Major smiles. I like Ballet. One of the characters in my novels is a gifted ballerina. So there (Not an attack against a reviewer just looking for a new friend). It appears my rating was about right.

Well however you did it, it is very cool looking to me. I actually saw a fire dragon at first, til i read your pic bio. The blend of the shots is amazing. Good contest entry. Good composition.

    Thank you very much! Fire Dragons are the closest relatives to fire birds.

This is quite interesting and beautiful. The boldness of the red really brings it out but also makes it have a haunting effect to it. Nicely done!

Very innovative and creatively put together. I love the story and the gorgeous colors. What a great blending of photos to arrive at the end result depicting the Firebird.
