Thanks Michiel. This was actually the same shot. I just didn't load it up with crap this time. I cropped it slightly differently and enhanced the reds a bit to accent the tip, but that was pretty much it. This pics is exactly what I shot. I think you're right though. I have to watch the focus. It could be a tad clearer on the tip. Well..next time.
Excellent image Corey! Love the thin whiff of smoke and the faint glow of the tip! Also the vignetting is much more subtle. This is a different shot from the b&w one, right?
Cheers,
Michiel
