Is this really "better" without colour? Great picture - I'm just not sure why you chose the colour treatment that you did.

An interesting image that meets the challenge

Wot, no wildlife…! Only joking Ronnie, a great action capture of a unique event. I like the sense of motion created by the trails of smoke and flame. I do not like the expanse of blank sky at the top its not helping the image at all. I think a panorama with the bulk of the sky cropped out and a little more room either side of the action would have given this more impact.

Oooh the way the flames ripple the heat and the flashes of fire is very cool. What a great capture! (I meant to say the way the heat ripples the air lol)

A great image that contributes to the challenge well

A lovely image Ronnie, you have every right to be pleased with the lens’ performance. I like the composition with the bird to the left looking in, it works well. What I am not so keen on is the centre background, especially in view of the challenge theme, it rather dominates but the clump of grass on the right does save the day… Anyway, it was rightly appreciated here which is what matters well done with your high placing.

Ah the green heron again! I agree with you about the spider’s focus but its still a great image Ronnie and the spider is detailed enough to be an integral part of the image so it adds impact it doesn’t detract which is the all important consideration. Its a very appropriate contribution to the challenge, well done again Ronnie
