Great capture of this statue. I appreciate the information and backstory you have provided. More positive and heroic stories need to be spotlighted. We never know what is waiting for us around the next corner. Well done and good luck.

    I thought there was more to this image than what first captures the eye. A story that should be told! I'm glad you liked both the image and the story within! Thanks for the great review!

This is a fine statue with amazing dedication. Being a retired FDNY fire lieutenant, this touches me. I spent time in Ladder 12 and Engine 3. This is a wonderful memorial, with out a doubt. May the memorials be preserved and may we never forget. Ray

    I took this image simply because I loved the fisherman statue. It meant a lot more when I read the plaque beneath it. I'm so glad FOX tv dedicated it to this special man! Thank you not only for the review but your service as a firefighter.

A good looking image posted here into the competition together with interesting notes too! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that dramatic statue. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

Comment from Charlotte Morse


An excellent shot of this statue and just perfect for the competition!
I'm slightly confused by the notes though, a moving tribute to one of the heroes of 9/11, but why re-use a fisherman statue as a tribute, rather than creating a new statue depicting a firefighter?
Well, whatever their reasons, it's a good shot, and I wish you all the best in the competition.

    To answer your question... It could be that the fireman was an avid fisherman and that's why he entered the FOX TV contest. They may have thought the fisherman was a nice way to honor him. I don't know the tv moguls did it this way, but they did! Glad you liked the statue.Thanks for the wonderful review and contest wishes.

Good one for my contest and reading the words slightly confused me because my first thought that this was dedicated to fisherman,good angle to make the most of this,i would however crop a tad of the left in this...Brian

    I think because this 911 hero won the contest FOX tv promoted.. that involved this statue.. they wanted to honor him by dedicating the statue to him. Who knows the way tv moguls think? Glad you liked it1

    Thank you! I loved the statue but it became even more special when I discovered what a lovely dedication it was to the fireman.
