Looks like a dragon in flight, in fiery flight that is. Did you try adding a bit more contrast to bring out the blackness?

I'm loving the composition on this and the bright, vibrant orange is very appropriate. The picture may be just a little TOO dark, though. I'd increase the lights a smidge and resubmit. Think this will lead to an overall better photo (which is already great as it is). All the best!

The first one I posted was with adjusted levels. I liked it because the flames seemed as if they were floating because you couldn't see any outlines. Tell me if this is better or if I should reshoot altogether?

I find this one really hard to see. I have a feeling it could be a great photo if it was a little lighter.

Changed to an other computer, better on this one, Great idea and photo.

I had to switch computers too to see what was meant I hope this is better?

Shame you cropped the toes off.

much better, now it really glows,

Fantastic shot author...well done

thanks for the favorites erathion and Alan2641

Awesome, it sure looks like it's flaming = )

Really cool effect, I like that you can still clearly see the actual image as well as the light trails.

A running tree!!!!!!!!!! Great!!!

That's stunning

OMG, they are stealing the Christmas Tree! Stunning effect indeed.

Great effect, was it accidental or on purpose?

I'm glad you asked Jean. On purpose. I was playing around with kinetic energy shots. The way I got this shot was by keeping a lower exposure, focusing on the tree and after the shutter release, I quickly spun to the left.

So awesome....nice shot

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! This was very well executed
