See..I told you it's a sickness. Another of the photos taken around the bonfire in Marysville, WA after the Xmas parade. -=>Donald

OOooo, I like this one!

wonderful image- she's in the foreground, dreaming & enjoying the fire & the others are caught up in all that adult stuff! (I don't ever want to grow up!)

Wicked shot! Ever thought of just bluring the background people out some more with photoshop? Love the burning logs.....Im a firestarter twisted fire starter!!! lol

Thanks for the feedback guys. I dunno if I say it enough, but your comments really help me not only in my cropping, cleaning, etc. but also in my photography (I've become better at composing in my viewfinder because of the things said). Tricksta - Yea, I'm actually thinking about it. May try it just to see how it effects the mood. Haven't done anything but crop and clean this shot up. Also toying with taking out/toning down the lights in the background. -=>Donald

Sounds good friend ... lets us see the results when u do!

Here ya go. Took today off to get some rest (felt either a cold or the flu coming on). What better way to get some rest than a little Photoshop'ing? :) Blurred the background and dropped the brightness of the lights a little. What do you guys think?

SPOT ON!! It looks wicked now

what a difference, draws the eye right to the girl's silouette & fire! Excellent!

I like this Don. Wikked wikked. trickstah, now you had me stuck with that song in my head! (*

WOW! great shot, the PS treatment really made it special!
