These are the flames of burning wood around a campfire. The embers are drifting upward as a result of the wood being moved around its enclosure.

Chaotic flow yet peaceful image.
Did you crop the bottom to remove any obvious pieces of wood? I feel like it might be missing part of the flame at the bottom. Also, I would recommend cropping some of the right border to better center the flame (it skews a bit left right now). Otherwise, I like how you captured the complexity and different layers of the flame.
The clarity of the camp fire is very interesting.
I like how the two little “Pappi” at the top looks like eyes. Kinda looks like a fire creature taking form.
I really like the sparks and how they draw some attention away from the large flame.
The focus on the flame is very nice, and the feeling of being next to a campfire is evoked with the little embers flowing around.
I love this image! It’s cool how you were able to capture the sparks like this and how we can interpret the wind direction just from looking at the picture.
Very cool photo, I like how the large flame is the focal point of the picture but the little sparks are also interesting to pay attention to. It almost looks like stars in a galaxy.
I like how the fire is bowing and and the sparks around it made look more proficient.
Awesome shot! Great capture of the embers. Gives a feeling of natural transition, almost has a Native American feel too it.
I really like this image and the shape of the flame . It is really cool that you can see the ember particulate in the image shooting up from the flame.
what made you decide on this idea? Did you intentionally go camping to capture this image?
The embers are very crisp in the image and I enjoy the great focus on the flames.
I like watching the flames separate from each other and dissipate as they grow higher.
To me, the embers look like stars!
I love the embers that were coming up, and the motion in the flame is very fluid and crisp! It makes me want to make a camp fire!
I like the ambers flying into the distance. It looks fast in the middle and slower on the sides.
Very cool fire, looks very unpredictable and uncontrolled. I like the embers moving, too, it adds to the wild feel of it.
I love how you can see individual embers drifting off into the distance. I also like how the flame isn’t straight and it streaks across.
One of my favorite images! The movement of the flames rising up and the black background make the sparks look like stars! Great job!
I like how you were able to capture the embers in the air.
I love how sharp the flame is but at the same time you can feel the flow of the flame by looking at the little details
I think the effect of the embers floating up definitely resulted in a unique photo.
I love the clarity of the image, the flame is nice and in focus. The embers floating up around the flame gives the image a good sense of depth.
I think the embers makes your image really unique. That is often difficult to recreate, so it evokes feelings of camping trips and s’mores. I can smell this picture.
I appreciate the editing of the photo to display the smaller embers to be visible on top of the flame itself.
This evokes a very comfortable familiar feeling of being around a campfire and relaxing in nature.
The flames look like they are rising fast, great shot.
I like the sparks coming up from the fire. I think the image would benefit from cropping the image more to see the detail in the flames.
Seeing how the sparks travel is really interesting and clear!
I really like the cropping you used! It makes the fire look really big and almost enhances the curvature of the flame!
This could be a background! I appreciate the clear focus and the embers that were captured.
I like that you were able to capture the flame and the sparks travelling upwards.
I like the contrast between the bright fire and the dark background. The flame is also very clear and it is interesting that you were able to capture the embers as well
How far were you from the campfire when taking the image?
I like how the small sparks near the top like somewhat like stars in the sky, very cool effect.
Capturing all of the sparks is really cool, and I think if you wanted to do that effect but even better you could have a quicker shutter speed.
I love how clear this image is! If you want it to be even clearer, with less movement to the flame (crisp, flame frozen in time), try lowering your shutter speed (having a quicker shutter speed).
