Sepia Fire Dancer - C & C Welcome

[Theantiquetiger]

I shot a VERY DIFFICULT fire dancers' performance last night. With the low light, constant movement, and harsh light of the flame, I was able to grab this one (the best IMO)


I am really looking for a critique of post process more than the shot itself. The flame at the 2 o'clock position was partially off frame (maybe 10% of it). So I extended the frame, cloned the fence and flame.

Why did you choose to do a sepia? (and please don't tell me because it looked cool)

i had originally edited it to B/W, but when I re-edited it to the above image, I tinted it red to represent the flames of the dance.

Sepia should have a brown tint, not red/purple
