A shot of the fireplace/closed fire through the vent door; a bit of work in Lightroom with exposure and white balance, then into CS3 for more color work, including two curves layers (including one in cross process, which helped significantly) and levels. Resized, border, save for web. I expect a middle score and my first request for validation (as it looks like it could be a diptych, but it's not . . . ).

Lovely warm tones but could have been expanded via levels or curves to use more of the top end for increased contrast. I feel this could be sharper, perhaps this is due to the resize for submission - I always do a final USM (100, 0.5, 0) after the resize
