I can see the fire!

I love the way this is tinted. It was expertly colored to highlight each element (the fire's the sun behind the clouds, right?) and the colors are not the traditional red-fire, blue-water, yellow-air, green-earth palette. I rather love this take on it.

I also love that the birds are in such sharp focus, and it looks like they're black-and-white? Maybe it's just my eyes, but either way I like their placement, almost as if you TOLD them to fly in that way to highlight their belonging to both worlds - water and air.

The only thing that's grabbing my eye negatively is the root on the shore, and that's only because it looks really ambiguous. I understand that we shoot what's before us, and that the best photos usually aren't staged or "Set up". That said, this wood just looks a little too much like a pair of legs and makes me go "Great photo WHAT IS THAT THING? " But, that's me, and maybe it's your intent to have that diversion. Take it how you will

All in all, I do love this, and if it's available as a print I'd probably find a place to hang it!
