Description I guess I would regard this as a fantasy image to some degree.

Created in Apophysis as a single image, no post work except for text and border.

PLEASE FULL VIEW FOR MUCH GREATER DETAIL.

Also, please visit my Deviantart gallery of more than 250 images and my DeviantPrints gallery with more than 75 images that can be ordered in high quality print form up to 20"x30".

Thanks! That's sorta what I was thinking when I referred to it as a fantasy piece. Has that "dark" look.

One single beautiful flame.. as all yours always are.
Yes I see the fire on the ridge and it actually reminds me of a fire in the mountains near my house where I grew up!
Fine details... an awesome lighting to make it all wonderful!

Thanks for your nice comments. Actually, your interp is as mine; an aerial view of a forest fire at one end of the ridge.

wow, that is incredible

only thing i think doesnt work so well is the size of the text in relation to the image. much too big. half the size and more sutble would really add to the image.

superb overall tho

Thanks for your comments and for the fav.

The relative importance (or dominance if you will) of text on a graphic can be made in various ways, size being only one of about 6. Also of important is: 1) Boldness, 2) color, 3) brightness, 4) Placement 5) Special effects/font design. Actually, I thought I would be accused of dulling down the title too much on this one. I consider titling to be something of a "Poster" thing anyway, certainly not a fine arts thing. I do it for DA as part of the presentation. When I sell my work matted and framed I cover the text with the mat and title and sign on the mat (commonly done by fine arts photographers).

I really appreciate your feelings on it though; just wanted to give you my rationalle.

Tom this is gorgeous. While It could be something ascending to some unknown glory, it can also be an overhead view of something like the wall of china, meaning you can overcome huge obstacles... Its beautiful.
