A most cool shot this is, Craiger. It is interesting to see her juggle fire, all decked out in a long dress, and wearing faux pearls.

Nice frozen moment.

I must say, what a fearsome (or should I say "fire-some"? *-) ) feat!! Those 2 guys' grins belie the intense concentration and sheer skill so well harnessed by the lady in red! (or perhaps they too are labouring under the weight of performance and are doing a "grin and bear it" routine? *-) ) Either way, fantastic capture, Craiger! :)

Waaaay cool! I love the contrasting facial expressions and the framing and color. Great capture.

nice action shot

Very interesting. Scary work.
I think her choice of costume is unusual for this type of act. It seems more fitting of a concert pianist not a fire juggler! The funny things I notice...hmmm.

the 2 men look like they were sharing some private joke while their female companion is putting her life to the fire(pun intended)...your pic is so realistic and interesting!

She's very brave! I hope she's still all right!!

Oh Gosh this is so fun!!! Look at the expressions!!! What amazing talent too!!
Ya gotta just love street performers!!! Makes me think of some of the festivals in Edmonton.. Great moment to capture Craig... love the story in it.

I'm guessing the men were volunteers, in which case I think I know why she wears such a long skirt :)

@Damon Schreiber: The two guys were volunteers. But, unless you saw the show, you would never guess why she is wearing a long skirt. :0)
Great capture! I also juggle a bit, and have tried shooting jugglers before - it is very hard to get both sticks in the air with a pleasing composition. Interesting trivia: the "airborne effect" of juggling is a partial illusion - there is always one item of three in hand. And I think the pot bellies of the assistants are unqiuely shaped for best support :)
