(Day 276) - Destructive, Yet Beautiful Too

Had a good time destroying leaves with fire (wow...that makes me sound like such a pyromaniac). Really like the smokey and charred look in this shot. You can even see the heat around the edges :)

Edit: Since this one is so popular, I removed it from my alternate album and added it to the main album. The other shot can be found here: https://365project.org/cjphoto/others/2014-11-17
