    Rolling Flames

    I cropped this as much as I could. We were remodeling our house and began to burn our old cedar deck. The flames and heat were so intense I couldn't really get to close. Thank goodness for zoom lenses. See what you think?

    It's an interesting look but it strikes me more as a texture than an image. I think the photo would be more interesting if you could actually see what was burning.

    Very intense,great color.The lower 1/3 has the best details, effect. I suggest a reshoot with a fire hydrant in the foreground... Ha! just kidding. Be careful when you burn.

    You caught the flames well but for me it lacks interest because there is nothing else to get may attention or to give the flames relevance.
    Would make really nice wallpaper though.
    Keep Shooting!
