Burned a couple of very old dining table chairs today.
Damaged in storage by mice and moisture, they were beyond saving..
So I took the opportunity to explore the 'pyro' in me

Flames are often hard to catch but you did a good job with them.

What is it about fire that both fascinates and frightens us? Excellent fire shot, Howard. You've captured the chair's transition into ash, and the flames dance in the moment.

Nice capture of the flame. I might be inclined to crop the bottom to just above the "waist" of the hourglass shape on the chair leg. For me, that emphasizes the flames nicely.
