Comment by macrothing:
7 - Met the Challenge, barely; In my opinion, the hose is a tool, the only other possible 'reach' I can get is the harness, or the hats, possibly the uniforms but getting into semantics there so in my books 'ok pass' (but it's too much of a reach). I have a feeling this will either win or rate very high. It is a 'nicely composed' photo and the b/w or sepia? works well. Criticism; I would like to see more contrast on the spray and even more definition in the fireys. May be a little 'blown out', not sure on that. Although I mentioned the b/w, given the minimal subjects I wonder how this would have looked in color.
edit; ok - up to 7 from 5 re toolS (definitely more with 'definite' toolS)

Bumping up the second time around. This is a great pic, and is now in my top 2.

Very nice coloration, and I very much like the position of the subjects in the frame. Good, concise composition. Like the slope of the hill they're on, and the curve of the hose. Nice job.

Great composition and color. Have to agree with kearock, I'm not a big fan of the frame either. Too thick.
