Fire...Hot stuff!

Here my contribution to Smurfie’s Friday theme “Fire”.

Took this shot last year during the Easter Fire festival in Boekelo (Twente). Not much to tell about I posted a picture of this fire a year ago which you can find here.
Well hope you enjoy this “hot stuff” :-)

Shot with my good old Minolta Z1

PP work:
Well not much except for the frae work, which you love or hate :-)
No adjustments made, except for resizing and sharpening. Add frame and text, blurred sides of picture with clone and brush tool. Add little flames in the corners with clone tool.

Hi Hans,

I feel it is very hot . . I can't find fire lately for the theme, except the flower which is kind of firework . .
It's an excellent exposure to get all details of this burnt wood as well as the fire itself . .
I like the way you frame it . . kind of oven with 4 bolts at each corner . .
Well composed

Tfs,
Tjutjut

Many thanks for your kind words on Firework .

The frame really make it look like a fireplace.
Well done

Hello Hans..

Hello Hansie

Superb shot here, right in amongst the burning embers, superb vivid firey colours and excellent sharpness and details on the logs. Nice framing suits the shot well

TFS and for joining in the theme

Kind regards Smurfie

P.S. I hope you have something suitable for next weeks theme ;-)

Hoi Hans,

Ah, paasvuur! Die past wel in de theme van vrijdag. Strakke compositie en mooie hete kleuren. Creatief gekaderd. Moet wel eerlijk bekennen dat de foto van de link mijn voorkeur heeft.

Groeten,

Edwin

Hallo Hans,
Dit is geen vuurtje voor in de huiskamer al ziet het er warm en knus uit,meer iets voor buiten! Het frame is een kunstwerk op zich!
Mooi gedaan en hartverwarmend :-)
Groetjes,
Frieda.

Hey Hans

In spite of terms entered in our winter season,
he is still very hot for here. We have rains in excess, but the heat is a little as this that you show, less of course, but fortunately hot.
Beautiful colors and hot details.
Congratulations!

Sérgio

Hoi Hans.

theme.Well done my friend.TFS.

Bonsoir Hans,
Plus besoin de chauffage, mon écran me suffit! ;-) Je suis stupéfaite par tant de réalisme. Un grand bravo!
Bonne soirée.

Pascalie.

Mon ami Baron ;OD
je trouve que sur TL, il fait de plus en plus chaud avec le topic d'Helen et je pense que ce n'est pas terminé.
This is a hot shot ;OP. Les détails sont magnifiques, la braise bien visible, même avec cette chaleur. Amusants les petits rappels dans ton frame.
Bisous Hans
Corinne qui a trop chaud.

Duidelijk een paasvuur :-)
Mooie kleuren en een bijzonder frame. Erg leuk die bolletjes op de hoekpunten !! Ook goed qua belichting.
groeten,
Joop!

Hi Hans

Nice,warm addition, to the theme. Good colour, sharpness & framing. Tfs!

Hi dear friend,
I almost can feel the heat :)
Great addition to the theme.
Nicely framed and presented.
I can see some "trails" in the left side of the frame
and in the right down corner. Is it from the PP work?
Have a lovely WE.
Ioana
:) soon

ciao Marco

Yes, hot as hell Hans.
Well done - but I'm not too sure about the frame - but who cares? You don't :))))
Janice

:))) LOL Excellent image processing!!! On the corners of the frame, instead of placing the clones, you should've palced oven buttons, so it would really look like an oven. There's also a tiny leftover from a previous layer on the lower right corner, between the lines of the frame.
Wonderful posting!
TFS!
Diana
p.s. see you tomorrow...

Hey, you're burning hot Hans! ;))

Nice close-up of your hearth, good control of light. Very sharp.

Cheers :)

Hi Hans,

Do you think that on cold evenings, I could post this on a large screen so I won't have to start a fire in my fireplace? This certainly looks piping hot!!! I have found that fire isn't the easiest to shoot for me sometimes, and I must take several photos. The clarity you have achieved is amazing.

About the frame....I don't "hate" it, I think it looks nice like a wood burning stove. I do think the flames are a bit distracting in the corners, but just a little :D

Enjoy your day... hope it's warm!! Lisa

HOT HOT HOT!
Great fire shot.

TFS

Textures, colours and action captured very well. The variety of diagonals make it interesting. I like most of your frames, but this one is too busy for me considering the image content. Just my opinion. TFS. K2

Hi Hans,
Nice shot of the hot embers, you can almost feel the warmth from the fire, this looks ideal for cooking jacket potatoes.
Nice entry for the theme
Well done
