Artist Reply: Thank you Art 4U, I have always been kind of mesmerized by the beauty of fire and with a few beers under the belt I thought the fire and smoke being so close together but separated from each other made an interesting contrast. It may not be art, as seems to be suggested by M.B. in her comments in the community thread; the quality of work considered art, but I like it too. Thank you also for the photos of England and Scotland which invoke memories from my earlier years. Wonderful choices of subjects and great composition inspire me to continue my attempt to create art through photography. Have a nice day, George
