Comment by klstover:
Nice title... seems like a newspaper headline and I like how that is paired with such an abstract image. I like this... I don't think that it really shows "fire" (would not do that without your title) but I do think it's a nice abstract.

I don't know if you wanted it this way but it is to blurred for me. Nice colors and I would of liked to see it in focus or some detail.
