Hand Dyed Giveaway

I'm taking a class on www.academyofquilting.com and it has stretched my comfort zone. This is good for me. My first piece was to be representational of water. I was very influenced by Linda Schmidt's example. We are only making the tops at this point and this is what it looks like today. 

In the second lesson, she has us investigating 'fire', as in forest fire. This is where I'd really like to hear from you!

A week ago my piece was at this point and I liked it. 

I had more to do, and I did! But it got to this spot, and I didn't like it. 

I thought I might just 'set it on fire' ! I had lost all the work that was behind these trees and it is beginning to get rather "thick".  So, out came my scissors. I trimmed out that red overlay from between the trees and even though I was happier, I knew it would need a final overlay and 'maybe' some filmy stuff across the bottom. The next three pictures are my options at present. Please disregard the excesses  that extend below the piece. Things are not trimmed to size yet!

Number 1: golden under lay piece and black tulle over

Number 2: a dusty mauve underlay and black tulle over

Number 3: no underlay, just black tulle over 

So, which one appears most like a forest fire to you?

Any suggestions?
