 OH WELL... people didn't get it :(

Basically, the fire went through where I was standing at between 100-300km/h and killed almost 200 people...these trees and this bush was thick forrest...now, it's just black sticks.

It was eerie to walk in here...

Nicely done with the exposure and the composition. I like how you managed to include "ground" to give the shot a base yet kept the reaching/arching feel of looking up into the branches.

LOL. Love the title

Some killer trees and processing. Should have scored much higher.
