 My first submission to the site!

Been on the site for a couple of months now, learning a ton, and absolutely loving the work on here. Anyways, here's a go - would appreciate any comments on improvement to the shot.

I just noticed that there is a fire challenge that started today - this maybe could have fit that subject a little better. Oh well, here goes!

Standard stuff - Levels, upped the saturation a touch, hue a touch, no USM for this one, and save to web.

Thanks in advance for your comments and votes...

Good capture. Would like to see more detail in the flame but overall a great shot. Would be great in the upcoming challenge. Good luck.

I'm 27 % through rating this challenge, and without a doubt, this is the best shot thus far by a long way. Love the bold colours, and this this would have been a great entry in the Fire challenge as well. Well done.

This is a cool image, but I'm not sure what I'm looking at. Is this inside a balloon? I'm upping your score on review since that didn't dawn on me the first time around!

Balloon air heaters? I think. Nice capture, I hope you didn't burn your camera :P
