Fire Dancer

[theantiquetiger]

There is a local fire dancer group here in Baton Rouge. I decided to go take a few shots of their practice. Only took 9 shots and grabbed this one. The girl dancing here is actually a professional portrait photographer (a real one, not a Facebook "professional"). My favorite thing about this image is it is 100%, zero crop. I did just miss her feet, but she was in all black, so by burning the bottom, it rid the error. She was standing in a parking lot, so the fire was reflecting off the rocks, stealing your gaze from her, so I would probably would have burned in the bottom any way, even if I grabbed her feet.
