OK I have to offer my congratulations on this image as not only is it fantastic in itself, but it completely meets the challenge. I could absolutely see this as the front page image on a paper

Outstanding colours and the silhouetted image tells a great story of fatigue after hours of battling a fire. Really hope this ribbons for you - 10

Come back to add this to favourites and to say having looked at all of the images in the challenge again, if I could give this an 11 I would do. I swear if this does not get first place then you will be able to consider yourself robbed

Magnificent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very good image of the impact that natural disasters can have on people's lives. For me it is emotive without being intrusive (cos lets face it people have enough to contend with during these times). If you think 'front page' then I would be honest and say that there are more dramatic images from the challenge that would probably get the nod over this one, but I could absolutely see it being used within a paper to illustrate the story

Good job

I think this is a great image given the circumstances that you must have taken them in. Unfortunately maybe given the nature of the challenge it could have done with a more 'dramatic' front page title (although hopefully people will vote on shot quality)

I guess there are a couple of minor technical issues with the shot, but given that this was done in a minimal challenge I applaud you

I really liked this as a differenet angle on the 'changing seasons' idea. Magnificent scenary and the formation of the first bit of ice means it really hits the spot insofar as the challenge is concerned

Great POV and nice B&W conversion. Bump to 8

Stunning contrast and the midnight blue sky gives the barn a wonderful amount of pop. Maybe (and this is being very picky as there is no way I could take a shot as good as this) I would have taken a couple of steps forward just to reduce the grass/rock/negative space at the bottom of the frame and allowed the viewer to see a little more of the barn. Stunning and bumping to 8

Love the perspective and the contrasting colours of the leaves and the clear autumnal sky. Great DOF as well

My daughter and I were looking through this challenge together and our reaction was the same...a gasp of panic combined with a giggle (because we know that not even a dpc'er would kill an animal for a shot). Great idea, very funny, well executed and original bumping to a 9 .... super job

So many lovely 'end of day' images in this challenge, but for me this is the absolute cream of the crop. Love the sharpness of the tree and its bark and composition wise it is very appealing - 8 from me

I dont know whether this is a common problem or not but this image is not appearing on my monitor either as a thumbnail or as a full sized image

It may be worth letting the SC know...Bizarrely I cant leave a comment without leaving a score so I will give you a 5 but promise to come back and revisit it if it appears
