 I couldn't come up with anything for this challenge (thought of baby animals, but figured there would be tons of them). I was burning some wood in my back yard and came up with this. Increased brightness, saturation, and contrast and cropped a bit.

This is a nice image. i like the concept of this image. I also like the rich colors seen in the fire. Another thing I like about this image is how you blurred out the background so the focus is on the subject. Nice work.

nice colours and I like composition. Good capture. Nothing "extra special" to make this stand out, however (sorry!).

had there not been what looks like staples in the wood, the picture would have rang a little more true.

Nice treatment of the challenge - pretty colors in the flames. Background detracts a bit from the picture.

There appear to be ancient wood staples in the ancient board near the 5 o'clock position.
