Hi Bynx,

In your first try the edge between the fire and road is too sharp for me. I like you second try better, still some sharp edges under the car and the transition from road to fire still does not look natural. IMO, I find that the fire become too much of the focus and distracts from the car which I would presume would be your main subject point. One option could be to lower the color intensity of the fire? Or maybe less fire and add some smoke? Or fill more of the frame with car?

Ive softened the meeting of the road and the fire. I think it looks better. Also brightened the image somewhat. Finally it has the car info.

I was thinking more along these lines with the car the majority of the image.

Now I gotchya and I agree it looks a whole lot better. All those flames arent necessary. I saw it my way through the camera and I coudnt see it any other way. Thats why I like this place. Through other peoples eyes you can see a lot. Thanks. I will post a final pic similar to your rendition.

I like it with the logo alot.

I am thinking for your final version Bynx, go with something about halfway between yours and schents, there is a bit too much flame space in yours, but i prefer the larger logo, so maybe keep it proportioned the same, just bring it down a bit, and take some off the top, maybe?

Ok here we go. Last time I promise.

I really like #2. The first one still has too much flame for me.

Any comments on a B&W?

[schent1]

B & W is very nice too.

Well done. Did you actually see a fire like that or did you create it?
