Great shot, Karen. Love the colors and especially the flames. Super work (I must try photographing glass against a black background, it sounds like interesting stuff).

Love it, Karen. This is a type of photography I've totally given up on because it's so tough. So kudos to you, and congrats on the top 10

Great mood and color achieved here. The arrow head flame adds to the shot. A ribbon contender for sure.
