Thanks Paul. I have to agree with your view. Those are bags of Thai Kitchen soups, a thing we usually include with our trail lunches out there ( and why we are boiling the water in the little titanium kettle). The other is a tin of seasoned tuna that we put on rye crips, a bread or cracker like Wassa but with some good seasoning. No excuse but the sun was encroaching on my fire scene faster than I figured so I didn't have time to add a rucksack or the like for other exposures. When I look at this image I do wish I would have removed the food packages but out of three quick shots, the vortex of fire was definitely the best of the three. There were some great shelves just off stage right where we sat and ate. I wish I had time before the sun to get a horizontal with the fire. You know how it goes sometimes. Thanks for the reply.
