Fire and water don’t mix, do they? Which is a real shame because I wanted to submit this for Thursday’s Special and you never saw a hotter image of Paula!
Clever effect, isn’t it? Visit Lunapic to see how it’s done. Many thanks to Amanda for helping to increase my wisdom.

I cannot believe the stunning visual effects available to us. I haven’t seen this one before and am “wow’ed” by its impact. Thanks for sharing; I will certainly be trying this one!
When I look at photo blogs now, I feel like my niece did when we took her to DisneyWorld. She was always turning to me and asking, “Is that real?” As we were greeting a character or viewing some Disney magic.
In a sense, it’s all real … We are stretching the “reality” spectrum by leaps and bounds.

I think it needs the right shot and lighting, Viv. Did you visit Amanda? She used a black and white of flying birds and it was amazing 🙂
