Description

I am much much happier with this image. I impulsively posted the last image because I was mesmerized by the bigger flames. This is a much better quality shot. I will have to figure out how to make better night shots before the next forest fire rages near town. I am going to erase my last posting tomorrow so take a look while it is still there. Tell me if you agree. I had better get off of the computer and find out what is going on with the fire...

I now have Visions of You Non-Fussed...working away while all burns around You....so, yep...I would feel better if You give the Fire a wee check. IMHO, both fotos show reallity...sometimes a bit ofImperfection can make the Real...more Real :)

Nice work Matt..those night shots are difficult:) I like the lighting fading to silhouette of the burnt tree:)

I'm totally with Brian on the wee imperfection being a good thing sometimes and I really think you shouldn't delete the previous shot. They're both great and they should stay in your gallery together.

I'm not sure which one I prefer, in the previous one the colours are more strong, and I like better the sense of starry night... This one seems more clear and some details are more visible... I really like buth, even if for different reasons

I like both shots a lot... such dramatic & frightening views! Have you tried any noise reduction software/techniques on these? You might be able to finesse some of that grain away. :-)

Tedz brings up an excellent point here, but this is a fab shot...I feel for the many who have lost their homes this summer(hope you're safe)...defintely one to remember.

This really is a shame....fire is such a scary, destructive thing. Your image is very well done Matt. :~)

honestly, i like the first one better- darker contrast, more definition tween the smoke & sky & i like the soft texture of the foreground grass- so, to each his own... keep both :]
