 I know people will complain about the sides not being straight, but I had to take it from that angle to see the tub, and wasn't allowed to spot edit. And I didn't have enough black fabric to stop ALL of the reflections. But it sure is a nice fireplace, huh? *grin*

Nice fireplace that is for sure. There is a definate warmth to the entire image, the photo is also in very good focus and the dof used for it works well. Personally I liked the image when I first saw it and still do although I will agree with you about the reflections being there. They do leave a slight distraction to the overall image although not a major distraction. The one thing that really bugs me is how the center flame appears to blend right in with the wall in your bathroom and creates a mushroom like cloud, its not obvious at first glance but as you look at it you notice it.

The image does portray Home Sweet Home very well and the overall composition is really good, I liked your idea here very well it is a wonderful Home Sweet Home image.

That's pretty cool. I wish there wasn't a reflection in the glass. And I hope you can close the backside when you're in the bathtub!
