Really atmospheric sillhouette shot; I love the tassles on the hats and how sharply you've captured the flames. I might be tempted to either crop or burn the house top-left, though - it ruins the atmosphere and symmetry a little. -JD

excellent shot, does make me think of the kkk though...

Excellent result. Congratulations on POTD. Cheers, Colin.

I really like this shot very hard to take & you have a brilliant end resulting shot, very well done, Congratulations , Elly.

Congrats on Potd - a unique image - cheers Jo

Reckon the flames burnt the "house top-left" - some people obviously don't know there bottoms from their arms - why pick as potd only to criticise it !?!?!?! - irrespective - means little to my adoration of this fine photograph - leave well alone Redsnapper - it is a truly unique and a very good image - much better than the usual run of the mill boring shots often seen on the front page.

Please remove my previous comment - if it causes you any  offence - I in no way meant to give the impression of shouting - just my style of typing comments - you image is superb and so refreshing to see here - regards Gil.

Is it Lewes?

You have caught the bonfire night atmosphere brilliantly. congratulations on a brilliant shot and on the front page. Charles.

This really looks like a Bonfire Night in Lewes. Superb shot and I actually like the inclusion of the houses in the shot. Well done. Zuzana

Blimy I thought I'd stumbled onto a satanic worship site when I looked at this earlier...  Great atmos to this you can really get engulfed in the picture.  Top stuff!

If I were feeling like a challenge though I would say there is every reason to pick a POTD and comment on it critically as well as applaud it.  That said I'd leave the house, think without it would be too scary!!

Many thanks all, I really appreciate the comments and feedback, and am thrilled to have got POTD. Funnily enough, I agree about the cropping/burning of the house top left, and was planning on doing exactly that at some stage. I just uploaded this version as an interim shot, really.

Mike - it was taken in Barcombe, a village just outside Lewes. In fact, the Lewes Bonfire Society form part of the (faintly satanic - I agree, Daisy & Steve!) procession.

Excellent stuff. Congratulations on the front page. Juan.

Congratulations on POTD, great capture. Rgds Paul
