  5. It is a photo of fire!
    Richard, there are police present.
    LindyLou, you have seen fire before, and you don't find it beautiful... enough to insult the image?
    I like fire. It is a force we can't copy, and it dances like nothing else on the planet.
    Fire IS beautiful to me.
    I have never seen any other negative comments made on this blog.

  7. Kimba@ I am sorry you are upset by the comments here today. Mine was not an insult to your always professional standard photography. The question above this comment box is, 'Is this beautiful?' I answered truthfully that it is not beautiful to me. Beauty has always been in the eye of the beholder.

  8. This I think is being in the place at the time. I have no experience of such a festival to know what type of experience it is. What I saw was a fairly graphic image of a burning man.I appreciate it was an representation, but as such I do not see this as beautiful. When I look at pictures I respond with how they make me feel not the quality of the picture. This is what I feel BW is about, how pictures make us feel. So I do not respond in a sycophantic way but how I feel always.
