Oh wow is right. What a well composed capture. But, you know what I'm going to ask. The effect you applied to it is marvelous but I would also like to see it without the effect applied. Can you e-mail it to me? This is a great image.

Wow, I don't know where you took this shot, but it is amazing. A bit different for you, but really a great manipulation. The colors, composition, even the black soot are all just spectacular. I hope this comes up for me in the VB. You'd get a 10 and then some.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY
