Suppport High quality, looks good! Caption needs to be wikified. I don't know enough about it to write a good caption. Clegs (talk) 14:04, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose It certainly has a lot of wow, but all photos of this subject matter do. I think the other image of fire breathing has more EV. smooth0⁷0₇ (talk) 14:09, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Suppport As much as I agree with the other picture having the greater Ev of the two this one has better aesthetics and wow factor. It shows the detail of the fuel and the torches well. The subject(man, torches, flame) is not cut off in anyway and it follows the rule of thirds to the dot. victorrocha (talk) 18:15, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Good EV and spectacular image. Kaldari (talk) 19:08, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. ~~Will support with a better caption.~~ As for EV, the picture demonstrates well firebreathing in its traditional environment (I had no idea that it was of Indian origin until now), and I don't see why the other couldn't also be a FP with different EV.

Support Shows a great view of the subject which we don't usually see. The image is very informative and gives us a good idea of how fire breathing is performed which is enhanced by an excellent caption. Mahahahaneapneap (talk) 18:58, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support I think it meets all criteria beautifully.Oroso (talk) 11:17, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Great focus and detail, both on the flame and on the individual's face. Cirt (talk) 20:19, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support Beautiful colors, nice framing of a human position that is not normally photographed. This photo definitely took skill and talent to capture. Remember to Be Bold! -- RandorXeus 02:22, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
