Great! Thanks for giving an idea of photographic art that can score well! Really glad to know that's possible. :)

Obviously great photo! Congratulations on your success! (I am curious,...Did you get some of the muted tones in the fire by heavy use of darkening the highlights feature of Shadows/Highlights? I am mostly just curious to see if my eye is still on-target with analysis of greatness.) Truly you have a great eye & post-process skills! :)

So help me understand Laurie...you dressed in black, coloured your face with black shoe polish, headed out to the woods with your matches and petrol and your Lowepro with the camera and lens, lit the fire on some unsuspecting family's home, and when they ran out you went click, click, click, then ran back into the bushes where you came from. Would that be about right??? AND you made the local papers!!!! It's amazing what crimes people get away with these days!

:)

Well you deserve the ribbon for all that trouble, and the family was insured, right? so they get the new house they always wanted. Well done...everyone wins :)

Wow, Laurie... love the reduced exposure, keeping all that detail in the flames and putting focus right there. The mood this dark image creates is really powerful. Love it.

Nothing at all against Tim's shot, but I would have picked this for first because it is so intense and dramatic. The exposure on the flames just seems perfect to me and it was at just the right time of the evening. Superb! And a huge hug and congrats on that ribbon!!
