 Probably should have entered this into Stupid Stupd - shot it by pouring Iso Alcohol in a plastic margarita glass and letting it burn/melt, occassionally dashing more alcohol into the flames to get them back up. Maybe that's why the Grim Reaper showed up ;-)

Simple editing on this one: Curves, Hue&Sat, Selective Color, resize, USM, save for web.

The flames look like they are dancing. What are you burning?

This shot really makes the fire come alive. Great job. It would be interesting to see what it would look like with the entire bottom cropped off, so that there is only flame in the shot. (Not marking down for this at all, just saying it would be an interesting idea)

Cool! Great wild dancing flames. Maybe a tighter crop so not to see the wood and only the mirror.6
