Cute and provocative... nice use of the blue jean vest... I might have made this color to try and bring out the vest a little more. Nice portrait though... good luck with it!

Comment by Gracious:
I like the strong vertical lines combined with the horizontal foreground tree. The colors are good, but not enough detail on the trees. It isn't immediately evident that there had been a fire, although once reading the title it becomes clearer. Perhaps with less contrast some more detail could be detected?
Snce the sky is overexposed, it may work better if the sky were just eliminated. It really doesn't add anything to the image. With the sky cropped, you'd be able to lighten the whole scene to expose more detail.
I love that green coming up....would like to see it highlighted.
Overall I like this picture, and the subject is very photojournalistic.

Eventually comes beauty but it is so ugly until then. I like the fallen tree and think it adds to this shot. Good centering and crop, maybe just a little more sky but it's ok as is. Personally I'd liked a little more sky. Nice job. PTL8

Good photo. I like the contrast of green grass & blackened trees. Brown leaves bother me a little with your title. 8
