Too bad the picture is not sharp enough. It'll be a 8/10

I think that this an amazing photo!!!!!! If you really think about it, the way that the firefighter is just a shadow going through the flames, it could symbolize past firefighters that have given their lives fighting fires and have come back to assist to the living firefighters. Amazing job!!

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 powerful image, both photographically and emotionally. Wonderful (scary) capture of fire; fantastic pov with the dark vortex by the brave fireman's head, as if he is willing the fire to be extinguished ... this to me is photojournalism at its (painful) best!

I think the silhouette is a bit OOF...but I think I like it that way. Great composition too. Nicely done.
