Now that the challenge is over, I wanted to say more about this photo. This was a bonfire for the school spirit (homecoming game). It was in a vacant lot, and I used the zoom to get it as close as I did. I could have come closer, but didn't want to intrude on the kids who were to the right of the fire.
It does look fierce, doesn't it? :) :) The burning wood was pallets piled and set on fire. I liked that it gave texture to the photo.
Thanks for all the comments. I appreciate the time you took to comment and give ideas to make a better shot. |

| Very well done. Lovely contrast and colour. Sharpness is great for a fire shot. How did you get so close without melting your camera? You must be a firefighter. I can see this easily published for an article on forest fires... |

| The capture of the flames is great, the way it draws you across the photo is very well done. Hope you didn't set this just for the challenge! |

| I love this. The colors are so vivid. I love the skeletons of the boards left on the building. They look like they are just about to collapse. I can almost feel the heat from the flames. Excellent photo and a definate nightmare. 10 |

| I hope no one was hurt in that. I'm sorry to whomever lost their possessions or their loved ones. (Is that for real?) |

| Nice exposure for fire! Certainly a "hellish" photo which seems appropriate for this challenge. |

| beautiful shot, definitely has that nightmare feel. I'd like to see more sky above (and not have the flames cut off) and less black at the bottom. |

| Very rich and crisp oranges and yellows there, highlighted well by the black background. I can almost feel the heat from here. I hope no one got hurt in that fire. |

| Even without the title, or knowing the films this picture has a frightening feeling to it. Well done. |
