Pause for Pride

the composition and DOF here work so well as do the colors of their uniforms and truck against the surrounding devestation of the fires.

This is a cool capture of a moment, the one man smiling, in what must surely have been another harrowing day on the job for them...

I prefer your image over the firefighter image because the latter was too cliche, whereas your "only the memories remain" shot had both emotional and visual power in a unique way. Having seen both during the voting process I knew the voting would be tight. This is a truly exceptional image and I think it should have been the blue ribbon winner in this challenge. Congratulations. Cheers, Sandra.
