Charcoal Fire
Uploaded: June 16, 2008 06:57:56
Yesterday we had a cookout for Fathre's Day and as the flames from getting the coals hot danced I thought it would make a wonderful picture. I have several more like this one and then some I will do some ddr work with. Contrast, sharpened, added slight saturation.
