Default Pics: Completed Trunk Lid Flames

Took some shots of the completed trunk lid project today while I was downtown at the river front.
I should have used a polarizing filter on my camera lens to cut down on the reflections in the flames, but didn't have it with me.
Here's a link to a previous thread showing some of the artwork being done.

Jim, I've never met you and that incredible ride. Hope someday I will cross your path, but I always look forward with great anticipation to the next photo-ops you bring to the table. You know the slogan - "I wanna be like Mike" well, in this case "I wanna be like Jim." Out-FRIGGIN-Standing.......
