Portrait Contest Week 26: Male Portraits
Here's my contribution to the Portrait Contest Week 26: Male Portraits.
I really like making shots of fire breathers. This is quite dangerous staff, yet their faces are always so calm, like they are on the yoga lesson or something. And also the mesmerizing might of fire is as always fascinating.

Just wow :)
You're very welcome :)
Wow, this is so beautiful. Love it.
Sincere thanks!
Epic picture!!
His expression adds a lot to the image. As you say, he looks very calm and this is a nice contrast to the sheer intensity of the fire.
The color toning is magnificent as well.

Nice picture of fire. Upvoted:)
Thank you!
Beautiful shot, excellent coloring? Not sure how to say it, but the colors are awesome, where was this taking?
Many thanks! Glad you noticed coloring: here was extra work with colors while editing the photo. It was made in some informal open place in Kiev, where people can do different things with fire: dance with, work out new techniques, etc.
Great capture @mihailoff!
And welcome the the Steem Community.
I'm sure you will like this new kind of social media. ;-)
Thank you! And yes, I'm in love with Steemit community now
I saw you at the Whaleshares Curation Show. Congratulations on getting chosen and welcome to Steemit.
Your photo is spectacular...look at the detail in that flame!!! At first, I thought the second guy was a reflection but it's not, is it? Your life must be very exciting knowing multiple fire breathers! :D Keep up the excellent work!
Thank you, Samantha! I was pleasantly surprised that my photo was chosen for Whaleshares Curation Show - this gave me inspiration for many next posts :)
Do continue to post even if you think no one is paying attention but post for your own enjoyment, first and foremost. The fluctuation in the value of Steem dictates so much of the voting here so try not to take things personally. I struggled with that at the beginning. I will look forward to seeing more from you in the future.
