Yes iam thinking of doing a square crop but do not want to lose the ring of light at his feet.

Yes I have seen the cover, still waiting for the book to arrive at the book shop. I did use flash (rear curtain sync)and tried to replicate that type of image but the light from the flames allows the camera to record an image of the person as well as when the flash fires. The next chance I get I will try some more apeture/shutter combinations to see if I can get the right effect, or maybe i'll just take two flashes and dial them right up.
