This shot is actually a mix of two shots of a fire. Except the superposition of the two pics and the resize, there is no manipulation on the shots.

Canon EOS 10D ,Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
1/500s f/3.5 at 28.0mm iso400 full exif

I like this as an abstract piece of art! The colors and patterns are pleasing. The relation to the movie title is there, but IMO the movie title kind of detracts from the image, as you start looking for a concrete (opposite of abstract?) bonfire, when actually the image is best when abstract. -- Olaf

Great idea Catherine, but I'm not sure the 2nd, less opacified overlay works here. It maybe that the overlay photo is too magnified and seems to confuse the observer. I would try 2 shots taken from the same perspective and then overlaying them with one about 40-45% opacity. The effect would be more of "motion" from an active flame. Sorry for rambling...just a thought.
