 Figures & Faces of Flames
I positioned few wood logs, using supporting dark stones, to create general shapes of what I wanted to look like human figures; and used small different-shaped iron pieces to get the feel of faces present; and ignited the fire. (Made and drank tea)
I used a 1/15 shutter speed to get the fire blurred and everything else as sharp as possible, while I hand held the camera.
I was expecting to shoot 100 images to get the feel I want; this is frame #24!!
Lucky? I guess.
The photo is a little desaturated and a touch of green tint was added to it.
I hope people will like it, I do.


Oh... I like this contest, did not have to worry about sensor dust LOOOOL

don't like the greenish tones, otherwise very well done - good detail and just the right amount of blur in the flames
