Well isn't this cute, the nice side to a cop. LOL....just kidding. This is a nice picture, it reminds me of my step father (who pretty much raised me). He was a cop for a pretty long time, and he had to end his time as a boy in blue because of heart problems. If I could buy this picture I would. Well done young lady.

You did a great job on this image. The depth and the framing are great. Gotta love those men in uniform. I really like that he looks natural.

Comment from Sweetnote
One thing I love most about your photos is how every one of them reflect your soul. This is so beautiful. The look of concern and sadness in this phonecall is just amazing. It is photojournalism at its best. Amazing color and clarity. Boy is his hair terrific here! Beautiful clarity Low! Really amazing!

Nice portrait of one of Americas true heros. It's too bad that the lady passed away I'm sure she will be remembered and missed. Thanks for sharing the story behind the photo.

Nice piece of photojournalism here - tells a nice story. The image in itself is not particularly grabbing, but the emotions expressed are very good.

Well, Deb, you sure have a way of not only taking great photos, but to be able to capture the feelings in your photos are remarkable...I can clearly read the emotion on this firemans/EMS workers face! Lighting is perfect, as well as the clarity, and the depth of field...nice work lowrider!

Comment from pwscanlon
Great photograph and great story to go along with it...you seem to have captured the moment, with the cop "wrapping things up" with the folks back at the department...well done!

Ya know your shots always have a very interesting and sometimes very sad story attached to them, that is what makes your shots so great. They are not just random photographs but shots that you have become involved with. As always very nicely done!

Comment from MaureenS
This is an excellent portrait of this young man. I like the use of the light background to emphasize his lines. Very nice lighting, with the angle of the sun off to the side. I'm sorry to hear about the passing of the mom of one of these guys. Nice you were able to cheer them up.
