This is an image of flames through a Rubens tube in windy atmospheric conditions. On the left (seen more clearly in supplementary image provided below) are flames with clearly defined edges as there is minimization of radiation emitted by the soot formed in the flame. The brighter flame bodies on the right show significant illumination due to soot formation. The shape of the flames, even without post–processing, resemble human–like caricatures, especially on the left. Hence, the purpose of post–processing techniques applied was to bring out a “Heat–vision” style approach to what appears to be a line of humans crossing a bridge at night time.
