Hi Kristaps,

excellent grafism! I like the crop used, emphasizing the burning woods and their reds and yellows. Great shot!

Hi Kristaps
Many places in Italy have traditions very similar to the one you describe in your note, involving great bonfires!
Your picture is very nice, exposure, colors and composition are perfect!
Regards.
Francesco.

Hi Kristaps,
Interesting composition made with the logs in this well chosen square format. The fire is very well captured here, although we see only a part of it.
It is also interesting to see how the colour is changing from black to bright red on the top.

Kristaps,
with this picture one would have to believe that this is a "serious" fest for the Latvians!
and of course, pre-christian.:)
Sometimes, when I tell my foreign friends about the fact that we still celebrate a lot of pre-christian holidays, and that they ARE important for us, my friends don't believe me.
I will send them to your page next time!:)
Did I tell you it's a very beautiful picture? :)
Cheers,
Olga

Hi Kristaps

great shot, nice composed, and the tight crop works well. Good exposure shwoing lots of details in the glowing embers.

Hi Kristaps,

amazing picture!! I have tried so many times, actually with good result, to take pictures of fires...but they are look the same, there is nothing special about them. Your posting is unique..I never seen something like this before. The arrangement of the logs are really nice, the richness of details and of course the beautyful colors of fire makes this one a excellent "warm" composition.

Regards

Hi Kristaps,
Your very dramatic bonfire photo popped up in random and I could not resist it. It makes me wonder about your POV and/or the size of the bonfire to achieve such a perspective. The note adds interesting details. The link is good; Avene's photo is an amazing contrast and her note compliments yours.

Hi Kristaps,
There is something so premitive about a roaring fire that we cannot help but stare and this one is no exception with its varying shades of gold and yellow crackling and lapping at these charcoal stained logs. Excellent sharpness and details to this lovely bonfire.
