The Great and Secret Show

My powers seem to be increasing. I strongly suggest that you all practice your ducking techniques or at the very least start running...as I am a deeply generous soul I am more than willing to give you a head start.

I really must invest in Photoshop...but then the risk would be gone.

[HippieChick13]

I'm running! I'm running!

[john graham]

impressive display of your powers sir...good to observe fingers are still attached..ditto eyebrows and other bits...

[KWind]

Very cool! Nice editing!

[john morley]

Your'e on fire, You really are!

[Graeme Stevens]

@hippiechick13 Excellent...
@tellefella Thank you kind sir - I'm also immensely pleased by the fact that everything is still attached
@kwind Thanks very much :)

[Graeme Stevens]

@jack4john You wouldn't believe the amount of times I've had to pour water over myself...

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

The fire magician!

[Leigh Anne Sanderson]

I am glad I can run fast! :-) Very cool!!

[Debi 🐩]

Great facial expression the concentration is clearly shown, good shot

[Dixie Goode]

That is a great picture. I can't run but I live in the asbestos rainforest. Nothing burns here but we all have gills

[Rosie Kerr]

Oh, this is so cool... you look like Gandalf! Wonderful effect. :)

[Graeme Stevens]

@wearing0 Thanks very much - just trying not to burn myself again ;)
@lsanderson55 Hmmm...I like a challenge ;) And thanks very much
@overalvandaan What? Where? if he catches me playing with his stuff I'm in big trouble!

[Graeme Stevens]

@pandorasecho Thanks very much - I'll have to figure out a way to burn water ;)
@rosiekerr Thanks very much - I obviously need to shave ;)

[Corinne]

well done !

[Graeme Stevens]

@cocobella Thanks very much :)

[Nancy]

Something sparkley seems to be coming out of your eye! Ohhhh magical...I see :)! Cool!

[Graeme Stevens]

@nanderson You're right - I zoomed in on it in LR when I was processing and it's part of the flame....didn't know I was that close to it!

[Marci Elston]

I'm gone! (nice pix)

[Graeme Stevens]

@melston Thanks very much...now run for your life!

[Pam Knowler]

Wow! Wonderful image! Even better than your last fire making efforts! Fav!

[Graeme Stevens]

@pamknowler Not least because this time I managed to do it without burning myself! Thanks very much too :)

[Richard Sayer]

I'm sure it's heresy to say so, but I would be very happy to see this without the fire - it stands on its own as a very powerful character portrait.

[Melissa]

Excellent.

[Paul J]

Great shot, Graeme, super composition.

[Graeme Stevens]

@vignouse That's outrageous. It's also something that I may do at a later date, just for you.
@divast8er Thank you kindly :)
@bigugly Thanks very much - just trying not to burn myself again

[Paul J]

But imagine the face you could capture of you did.

[Richard Sayer]

@graemestevens Ooooooo - simply gorgeous... may I have a signed copy please?

[Rachel]

Yep, I like the focus on this one much better. Do hope you ouchie is recovering. Fav

[Graeme Stevens]

@bigugly That would make it worth while...
@vignouse I shall sign it with blood.
@888rachel Me too, and thank you very much :)

[Paul J]

@graemestevens you should go for it!

[Graeme Stevens]

@bigugly If I could figure out how to do it without melting, I would

[Annie D]

there's my favourite eyebrow hahahahaha

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied Me without that is not...me

[Annie D]

@graemestevens I know - I love when it stands out - or is that just me?

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied Yes, many do. The disturbing thing is that my daughter can also do it and the lovely Mrs. S has the ability to do the other side.

[Annie D]

@graemestevens oh that is not disturbing - it is marvellous - the genes are to carry on - noice!!!!!!

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied Indeed - we didn't think it was too bad for our first and only attempt either.

[Annie D]

@graemestevens ah hahahahahahahahahahahahahah I don't for a moment believe you stopped practicing

[Sue]

Fire AND sparkers? Ducking practice commencing. Great shot Graeme. ;-)

[Annie D]

@graemestevens ohhhh sorry for being so presumptuous

[Marelize Dry]

Great Shot FAV!

[Wylie]

Ha, back to normal!

[Nicole]

Very cool!

[Lisa Villella]

love the textures of the jacket and nice eyebrow lift! Super shot! fav!

[Graeme Stevens]

@eyeamlisa Thanks very much - I seem to have very little control over that damned eyebrow
@nicoleterheide Thanks very much :)
@pusspup I'm never gone for long.
@ounooi Thank you so much :)
@sioux I'll use anything that'll burn...and thank you :)
@annied Sorry, I wasn't ignoring you - we went to practice ;)

[Kane Arlow]

I feel a little better that I have headed further west this weekend. :)
By the way, awesome shot. And I did find it looked even better viewed on black.

[Annie D]

@graemestevens *eyes raised* smiling

[Graeme Stevens]

@karlow75 I'm pleased you "feel" safer...for now ;) And thanks
@annied Mine were too...

[Amy-lee Edwards]

you can get photoshop for £5 a month I recon x

[Graeme Stevens]

@amyleewinfield Yep, it's on the to do list but I kind of like the risk factor ;)

[Annie D]

@graemestevens *shaking* still smiling

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied LOL, I was shaking too....

[Annie D]

@graemestevens oh sh*t that was a Freudian slip *shaking head* which is probably no better is what it was meant to say

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied I gathered that but I thought I'd just roll with it. Which I also did.

[Beau]

Genius. Fav

[Annie D]

@graemestevens HAHAHA

[Graeme Stevens]

@losthorizon Thanks very much ;)

[Aaron]

Oh ya, this is very cool. Great project!

[Graeme Stevens]

@grizzlysghost Thanks very much, and for the follow

[Megan]

I'm glad you're not using photoshop. Much less fun..

[Graeme Stevens]

@ludgate I must admit I do like the risk involved

[Sam]

"ducking techniques" - is this referring to how we duck or how we DUCK? If you get my drift.......!

[Graeme Stevens]

@gigiflower I get your drift and the choice, as always, is up to you
