Good job!

I love planned pics. Yet with a fire, flames will always be a surprise catch. 
Beautiful flames here. How many tries?

The fire was the challenge… well seen buddy!

My son assisted me for the shooting and my daughter in post — where up
to 60~70 tries were taken. Using the right amount of combustible to get so-
me hight in the flames in all safety was not easy.

In PP, after many hours of evaluating, things started to build up nicely when
she came up with layers adding to a "dragon or panther" as it is called here. 
The panther is the heraldic figure of this Land.

Many thanks! :P

The final composition is a compilation of eleven layers
for the flames and four for the rest.

Yip, beautiful flames.
Worth the effort. 

11 layers! 
I do not think I ever needed so many. 
O yes, years ago, o created many copies of the same thing for one print. 
But I flattened it all the time because I did not have enough ram.
