I really like this photo. I would like it even more if it were a little straighter? I love the lighting you caught of the back of the firetruck especially. Colors. Composition and POV nice.

Comment from GaliaG


the focus, the light handling and the composition are very good, but the fact that the photo is falling to the left takes from the initial impact and rate

try to leveled it

thanks for sharing

    I don't think it can be leveled since we are on a hill.

Great storytelling ability in this colourful shot showing the volunteer fire fighters at the scene of the house fire. What a shame - it looks to have been a beautiful building. I think you've captured the feeling of chaos after such a disaster.

Lighting and focus very good. Very good composition.

I see you've only just become a member of FAR so Welcome, and I hope you enjoy sharing your art with other members and reviewing their work too. Suzanne

What a colourful piece of work this is. Well done, you have captured the scene so well. Good composition, good colours, good lighting and plenty of interesting points all over the scene. Well done its a pity that house is some ones property.

    Thank you. The house that burned was a former Convent. The large empty space you see formerly held a Roman Catholic Church that was closed and razed as part of reorganization. The fire was ruled accidental. I really feel very proud of the volunteer firefighters who provide us protection since none of our small towns can afford paid individuals.

Awesome photograph of real, live action of our every day heroes. The lighting effect which spotlights the back of the firetruck is quite effective. The angle and view of the house and all the firefighters tells a story through picture. Clarity is perfect, color vivid, framing great. Job well done.

    Thank you...I have been very fortunate to find situations that were perfect for telling a story. I do not have one particular type of thing that I look for. I just try to see something of interest.

This brings back memories of my volunteer days as an EMT. This photograph draws you in to see into the work that a firefighter does. The color is good as is the definition. Thanks for sharing!
