Comment from Jacqui B


this is incredibleee. thats so tragic what happened in california with all those fires. you captured the experience perfectly. the house and the lake are caught so beautifully with the fire as the lighting. it looks like the sky is literally on fire. and the trees faintly behind the fire looks really cool. this is a greatt photo

This is really a great shot. You have a done a beautiful job depicting the fire and smoke. The reflection of the fire on the cabin an in the water is wonderful too. Great job.

Intensity flows from this - it flows and flows and flows - wow -Color, composition, subject matter, layers and layers of interest. Wonderful array of detail - and digitally created - this is a true wonder to me. Sue

The initial impact in this work is well done. You just want to get in there and put those fires out before it destroys the beauty in it's path. The scene before it is well done and pristine.

I think it's telling its meanings out. I don't think I can hear any voice but I can feel it. Very nice impact and great kindness found. Good picture!

What a magnificent creation. Too bad the subject is not what one likes to see. Even so, it is so colorful and the design is perfect. Great show.

Comment from Paulisa


Very nicely done. Beautiful composition. The colors are very dynamic, the building looks like it's burning for sure. The light from the fire is very intenst and the reflection of the light from the fire off the water is very good. Like the grass in the foreground, gives good balance to the overall look. Thanks so much for sharing, excellent job, even if it is a sad subject matter.

Moon Willow, This is only too real looking. What a shame that it is also a true story.You have really captured the distructiveness of this event, And all for a dropped cigerette butt or a camp fire not properly put out. Beautiful work . Diane

    Thank you, Diane. The fires that are still burning in up north, were started by lightning about 3 wks. ago. Thank also for the excellent rating on this.
