      Wow ! I really like this. Very dramatic and alive in its "death" !

      But, the face is just a little too dark (perhaps because it is completely burnt; if not, then a bit more light on the "terrified" eye would help); the horn cropped, and the overall crop not quite right for me - a bit too tight.

      Close, and thanks for sharing:

      sadly the description intrigues me much more than the photo itself. i wish you'd shown more of the scene than this.

      I've no idea what this is (apart from the fire) or what some of the comments (the face, the horn) are referring to. I can't make it out. The fire is great, though.

      Something I haven't seen before. Hooray! It's challenging to balance out the contrast between something so dark and the presumably bright flames, and I think you've clearly met the challenge with great success. The flames seem frozen and concrete in parts, but more vaporous and flowing in others. Hot and dynamic.

      I would vote for this, but I can't; my application to join Deleteme! has been rejected! :-(

      Powerful. Only objection is that it might be a tiny bit too zoomed in, but its still a really great shot.

      I love this, but like was said in the first comment, the horn was cut off.
