Thank you for your positive feedback. This idea was really inspired by a work of another professional photographer.

To get a picture like this I have to use a whole box of matches... :-) #556026

Thank you for your kind words. I used
up the whole box of matches to get only
one that was presentable. The difficult
part was the timing of capturing the starting of the fire!! #5016282
