Nice & simple - this appeals to me

Very cool shot!

This is cool, though I would have preferred it without the bird...

I agree. The bird takes your eyes away from the flame.

Unfortunately he was having a bath and didn't want to move! Although I should have taken it from a different angle so he wasn't in it, I just thought it added some further interest. Next time

Authour - the horizon looks a little crooked to me .... maybe it's just that damn bird!

The sky and water have let you down a bit here - they both appear as blown highlights

agrees

Nice one. The shell gives the needed definition to the water

simple and effective
