Hey guys, it's my first post in this group.
I've been a lead VFX artist in the game industry, working on many AAA titles for 12 years (including Splinter Cell, Army of Two, Deus Ex) ...I decided to go Pro photography last year! I'm still experimenting ;)
I incorporate sometimes visual effects in some compositions and here's one I did for some cool clients this week.
The challenge for me was the fake orange lighting in the environment...I wasn't sure about the smoke too...
Of course a daylight fire wouldn't glow much but I still decided to add the whitish (overexposed fire) even though it was daylight lighting. I did this because an all orange fire with no glow is kinda dry to my taste.
CC is welcomed :)
Glad to be here!

Nice eye on the detail (the reflections). The lighting could be less flat but I see your focus was just on the VFX so I encourage that part of the job.
