Tony,

I like it! I like the way the light and dark areas break up the image and draws you through the image from front to back. On my monitor it's difficult (ok impossible) to identify the dark areas as being burned out by the fire but I don't think that detracts from the overall impact of the photograph.

It looks like you made this image either early in the morning or late in the afternoon in order to catch the sunlight just on the tops of the trees in the background. Yes/No?

Nice one.

Joe
