This picture was taken yesterday at the farm. I love that dead tree, quite mystical, and added with the flame and this beautiful sky it looked even better.

But I decided to add a little effect by desaturing every colours except the yellows., added contrast, sharpened and frames.

Shot in RAW.

Thanks for looking.

Excellent.

Hi!
Great photograph! Composition is excellent with this fire and tree on right. B&W colours of background is great idea, sky is dramatic and make atmosphere for this shot. Well done!
cheers
Adrian

Hi LuDivine,
Beautiful,good idea,congratulation.
Best regards,
Ralf

Ludivine, this is one of the best I've seen in a while. I really love it. Composition is just right. You couldn't have shot the flames at a better moment. The shape of the tree, the dramatic sky... fantastic!! Congrats with this one. I'll add it to my favorites!

greets

HI LuDivine
Dead trees are always good subjects for the camera,and I must say that with the fire it has more of a dramatic look.
Good composition, good pp work, and nicely framed.
Thanks for the comments on the tiny spider

hi ludivine

roald

*they're right! the eye is really watching you.

Hi LuDivine...I like this shot..you creative a nice art piece...great work.

Roger

fire!! excellent capture, love the pp-work with the partial desaturation, terrific idea, brings out the fire-colors very
nicely. the dead tree is great as well as the dramatic sky (with an eye on the left). it all adds up to one amazing mysterious
atmosphere. well done & best wishes, thor.

amazing work of art . did you notice the human fig in the sky . the human. "the gods eye looking from the sky ". but how to keep one color and remove the rest ?

Hello LuDivine,
Beautiful partial desaturation.
Very nice pov and composition. TFS
