I love the mood of this shot and the overall composition, but the puppy down the bottom either needed to be completely in it, or not in it at all - but the rest is gorgeous :)

I can smell the smoke.
reminds me of some interesting nights spent around the campfire

I love campfire shots as they evoke so many great memories. Your shot is a great one, and captures the mood beautifully.

It doesn't seem common to post on a theme within a thread in this forum, so hopefully this doesn't offend, but I'd like to share a couple of campfire moments to complement yours.

kayaking the snowy river (from McKillops bridge) trying to dry the volleys ready for the next day:

Lovely shots D200 :)

They are lovely there is nothing quite like a fire to stare into! I have just come back from Fraser Island where we were not allowed to have a fire, it was a very different experience, but we survived....just :)

[Janedoe67]
