Very 'De Sousa' like!!! Yeah, it's got to be - definately his style of image! If not, you still get a 9 from me. Good job!

Comment by Gordon:
love the candid, sponta^H^H^H sorry - must have been a comment on an other image.

Conceptually intriguing, a modern take on such a classical subject for artists. Reminds me that most all iconography was commissioned and purposed to glorify god and how that probably isn't the case any more, in this case. Would be interested to know if that was true or not, but I suspect it is.

Great light, good execution (hmm, that should be taken the right way) and strong choreography to organise so many people at one time.

I like the near symmetry of the two firemen up the top. An excellent image.

The more I think about the probable motivations behind creating this, the more empty and devoid of emotion it feels to me. Is it done to glorify god, or meet an art school assignment. Feels more of the second and less of the first. Doesn't change the score as such, but changes the perception of value.

I'm guessing De Sousa on this one, not that it matters who did it. I find this absolutely compelling, thought provoking, and a work of art; I can't stop staring at it. I hope I get to stare at it on the front of DPC for a full week.
