Now is the time for the burning of the leaves, They go to the fire; the nostrils prick with smoke / Wandering slowly into the weeping mist. ~Laurence Binyon . . . . . .My original photo was an orange dahlia. A tribute to Autumn, although here it is Spring :) Needs full view to see the burning leaves. . . . Original photo hereThank you for looking, your comments are very welcome and appreciated.

WOW this is so GORGEOUS Lyn. Love the colours and effect you have created here. Reminds me of a part in Harry Potter and the Return of the Phoenix.

Unique and very autumnal Lyn - I assume this is headed for the orange contest - if so a worthy choice!

Great work again here Lyn. This time I don't know how the original looked but I like your idea of putting the three leaves there in front. Well done!

A fantastic job on this manip, Lyn. Luv the colours in this, It reminds of a flaming hot bowl of tomato soup. Well done, Saved.

It does look like a burning of the leaves Lyn. Insane incense I would say. Colors are top of the line. Good post.

Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know.

Oh my, this one is not only mysterious and beautiful, but it also brings back some incredible memories. Before leaf-burning was banned, it was an Autumn ritual... My father, rake in hand, gathering the leaves in a huge pile and then setting them on fire... the crackling sounds, the aromatic smoke, the little sparks popping as they sailed up and away... Thanks for the memories, and... I just had to fave this.
