[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This one is dedicated to my friend Lloyd who suggested the idea of me taking multiple photos of the candle flame and putting them together while we were sitting in this really cool Thai restaurant in London called the Blue Elephant, where I then took the shots. That restaurant has an amazing interior. It is a virtual garden of plants in there and even a stream running through it!

I've layered about six photos of the same candle flame and decreased the opacity of each level going from the back to the front to make it easier to see the various flames.

It has come out very well Thomas. You can see the angle of the light wind coming from the right. Quite amazing seeing the edges of each frame. Very well done, TYFS...

Great shot Thomas. I love the colours and delicate angles in your picture here. Well done.

Hi Tom,
I've been looking at this one since the moment you posted it. All I can say that it's neat. The overlap flames are cool...and they somehow look computer generated. Good work.

This is great, Tom! Your friend's idea resulted in a very effective and unusual composition. It looks like a bird to me that is about to spread its wings and fly away. Very very creative!!!

I think you did a very nice job here, Thomas. Great sharpness of the front flame. Well captured and good pp work.
