Most excellent! Fire can often make getting the right exposure very difficult. You nailed it here!

Geweldig werk, Mieke. Dit zo lastig. De ondergrond is nog steeds goed zichtbaar, terwijl het vuur niet overbelicht is.

Wonderful capture of fire. Love the motion blur of the flames. Fire is not easy to photograph in my experience but you nailed this one. V.
