Wow! What fantastic post-processing. This image is worthy of being printed and framed and donated to the fire department. I think they would love to have it on their walls. It's also worthy of being sold, don't get me wrong. But I am a True Believer in honoring those who sacrifice and risk their lives for us. Everything about this is perfect. Very well done.

Quite an artistic interpretation of a fire engine in action! Your nice image benefits from being well exposed, good exposure and it's sharp. Nicely done!

Really a fantastic mixed media work that now looks like an art piece. This reminds me of a beautiful drawing with excellent dimensional quality and color.
A perfect subject to change so much in this fashion.
A real pleasure to see the talent that went into this piece.

Hi Mary Eileen!
That must have been an expensive cooking fire,huh? : )
Your photographic presentation of this big fire engine makes for an interesting and enjoyable image though!
'Good Show',my friend!

Nice one here Mary Eileen. A nice angle showing the working parts of this ladder truck. I like the after photo work you did on this one. It gives a unique look to the entire scene. Well done Mary Eileen ~ Steve

Very nice treatment on this shot gives it the feeling of a drawing rather than a photograph. Good colors and an interesting leading line to pull us back into the shot. I like the blue partial sky. I would consider cloning out the limbs or whatever that are sneaking in on the left. They are a bit of a distraction. Nice tribute the the first responders.

I like images that tell a story and this one tells a story of bravery in the face of danger. I like ve the vintage Norman Rockwell kind of feel your techniques created in this scene.

This s a super cool shot. I love the angle of the fire truck and the figure by the door grabs your attention. Years ago, I did a painting of a young couple that were both first responders. Her name was Meg, too. This kind of reminds me of that picture I did. Love it.

Well done created and designed. Your enhancement reminds me of an illustration in a book or magazine. I am not familiar with your techniques but it does look intriguing and fun.
Nicely done.

This is awesome ! It looks like it could be a poster! I like the effects of your edits here! The fire truck on the scene ready to handle the situation! Firemen still inside! I like the lighting and the colors in this! Well presented!
