Congratulations Jorge on the well-deserved blue! Your attention to detail and symbolism is superb here, and I especially like reading your description about the careful placement of each character and the symbolism of them in your photo. Superb job here, and truly the work of a 'master.'

Love is... Flying into your arms

a well deserved ribbon. The only thing offensive about this to any christian is the knee jerk reaction of 'conservative' christians who sleep,eat and life inside the box. KUDOS

I, like toddhead, am a Christian and a fairly conservative one at that. I don't think this is offensive at all. Maybe at an initial glance but the more I look at it just feels right. I think this captures the essence of the moment. It is just a little non-traditional.

As a medic I love how this also illustrates the teamwork between the medic and the firefighter. The firefighters are removing him from the cross, like extrication from a crumpled car, and passing him to the medics who are right there ready to do their part. There are just so many interesting elements. I could probably write a 20 page essay on this photo without running out of material. This is one of the best I've ever seen on dpc. It is very deserving that it would win this challenge. Brilliant work. You are the man.
