Wow, your patience paid off. I could never wait that long for the program to render. It is a beautiful flame that you have chosen.

Superb flame and render Sandra!! Great flow and colors. Well done my lady:)

I like this one so much I faved it Sandra, the colors are beautifully handled in this one with a superb design. tigs=^..^=

Looks like oil on water for me, love the color use of it.

Beautiful work, Sandra, and so nice to see you posting again...love the colors and luminescence of this render...a fave for me.

Interesting that you would use the word Oil in the title. Coming from the Uber-clean air of North Dakota, in 1972, to a Navy Base in Southern California, it was probably more evident to me seeing the swirls of petrochemicals that rain had washed out of the air, now lying on the surface of rain puddles. It looked much like this image of yours, Sandra. It also harkens to what we might see, far out on a dark ocean, at night, when the fluke of a whale would pass through a large group of bioluminescent plankton. Absolutely beautiful, and I wish I could give it favorite status many times over.
