 This was Taken at a BBQ, as they lit the BBQ. I took about 300 pictures straight into the fire hoping to get a face or some kind of interesting shape. This was the best shot between a few outtakes showing the female face in the upper right hand corner.

Editing steps:
Saturation; Color Balance; Burn Tool; Correction layer to enhance the colors of "The Face", Brightness+contrast, Desaturate Magenta colors at the face to better define the lines, Add Frame, Save for web, Upload.

Hope you all will be able to see the female face in the fire and like it as much as i do.

The unsharpness takes away from this and it's a tad boring.

Looks a little OOF to me. Nice placement and concept, but it needs to be sharper. I like the colors choice for the background with the fire.
