:O Mine wasn't notable!
Heh, looks good Vman, your flames aren't super bright as mine.
Woops, forgot about that.
One moment.
The fire effects are superb and the shading is nice too. The motion-blur is also decent. The little fixes to the textures and models are a lovely addition.
However, the whole picture is kinda... dull. The lack of notable changes to the contrast, curves and colouration of the piece makes it so that, once I get past looking at the sexy fire, everything else is somewhat flat and lifeless.
In this respect, Mosquito's edit was vastly more interesting and rounded. This is a great shame because you're pretty much the fucking God of effects, Vman, but the lack of really simple stuff like messing with gradients and contrast and things of that nature means your pictures don't really come to life, in my opinion.
