Description

A long exposure and great deal of intentional camera movement to bring the firey color of the field of paintbrush up over the tree trunks to produce a feeling of flames. Cropped for final effect. I'm interested to find out if this works for anyone.

...i thought "orange tulip impressionism" before I read the description.
Interesting to know that you did this with the field of paintbrush.
I love the presentation.
