About When I was shooting this picture I thought of this song so why not post it :)

Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating, do you understand?
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?

I believe it's meant to be, darling
I watch when you are sleeping, you belong to me
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame?

Say my name, sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely, and then you come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling

Say my name, sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely, and then you come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling

Close your eyes and give me your hand
Do you feel my heart beating, do you understand?
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame?

Is this burning an eternal flame?

Excellent capture of this torch, very well blurring the background. I love the contrast of colors and able to focus on the torch. Very good composition. I love the fire photographed. One takes unusual.
Very good job!
Kisses and hugs!
David

David you're fast!
Thank you so much for your continued support my friend. It is much appreciated.
Un abrazo,
Julie.

Dear Julie - Great shot of the flame - love the 'poetic feel' great colors too - excellent DOF....
I like it as well as the song
Big Hugs my dear ,
Michele~


Julie Salles   {K:18604} 6/24/2008
Thank you so much dear Michele. I thought it had a poetic feel to it as well, especially since I was thinking of that song by the Bangles when I shot it.
I am glad you like it.
Big hug,
Julie.


Keith  Growden   {K:20592} 6/24/2008
:))) You are such a romantic Julie :)) I like the detail and the colours. Dof is spot on and the exposure is great all over including the flame. I feel though that the composition could be better. Left side i feel needs to come in to more like a 6x4 shape {portrait of course} I think teach you probably meant to to do that to see if i would pick it.:)) Hugs xx Keith:)


Paul de Beukelaar   {K:10505} 6/24/2008
Dear Julie,
Even an intangible flame and the love dreaming you know to capture and share. It's a gift how visible and realistic you make it by your capture. You must be very romantic but now you made this flame also eternal by your shot : a pragmatic woman of action and realistic in some "sense".
7++
hugs and kisses from Paul


Aziz ABC   {K:15131} 6/24/2008
This shot is so beautiful, and the song too.
Cheers
Aziz


Julie Salles   {K:18604} 6/24/2008
:)))) I like to call myself a hopeless romantic. Too many people nowadays forget what romance is all about :( sad.
I agree with you about the composition I had another one that is much better but I didn't use it because I cut the flame a bit and being that I was thinking about an "eternal flame" I felt this one was the best shot of the two.
Thank you for your feedback my frined I truly appreciate it.
Big hug,
Julie.


Julie Salles   {K:18604} 6/24/2008
Hi Paul,
I am so flattered by your comment. Thank you very much. I like to think of myself as a very passionate person, people nowadays forget how to be passionate about things they love and I believe my love for photography and life itself shows thru some of my images. " A pragmatic woman", that's me :)
Big hug from NY,
Julie.


Julie Salles   {K:18604} 6/24/2008
Thank you so much dear Aziz.
Big hug,
Julie.

Nice frame and surely not an object that we can see every day... at least that is for me... :-)
be well Julie!

Really very attractive.. the flame or fires are really eye catcher and to see them still without a flicker is amusing.. it has a solemn fell looking at it..
wonderful abstract Julie..
regards..


Julie Salles   {K:18604} 6/24/2008
Thank you so much my dear friend Arif.
It was windy that day :)
I am so glad you like it sweetie.
Hugs and kisses,
July :)

Very interesting shot and great execution. The focusing and exposure and just perfect. The DoF is very effective in this shot emphasizing the flame and torch.

Great shot!

Cool shot Julie! I like flame studies, always so interesting because it's the ultimate in unpredictability. Hope all's well with you! :)
