My heart stopped, looking at this. Our fire season starts shortly and I never have the courage to go out and shoot it. Brave picture and beautiful too

Wow, makes for a dramatic photo, the bokeh of the fire is amazing, seems like it would make a fantastic texture as well. Keep safe.

Hello from the Critique club

An interesting attempt that does not meet the challenge

In terms of the challenge brief there are no aspects of this image that are ‘ridiculously disproportionate’, everything feels in correct proportion. If you look at the challenge winners it will be immediately evident what was required to fulfil the challenge brief. The subject matter itself is also unconvincing it appears to be a normal controlled situation where everything appears as you would expect it to. Thank you for your processing details, I assume the second man is the pasted man, being a little larger than the foreground man? Again, there is not enough to differentiate their sizes this could be as expected in the normal scheme of size difference between people.

I’m sorry to be rather negative about your entry David but I would recommend you have a look at the successful front page entries for a fuller appreciation of what was needed to succeed in this challenge. Thanks for your entry, better luck next time.

The heat giving it an abstract feel is what makes this work for me

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Great fire shot, I sure hope this was a controlled burn. Nice comp and great exposure, shooting fire can be quite difficult esp in daylight! Problem is, as voters have noticed, it's the fire stealing the show from those reeds. This site is so literal...*sigh*

Hope this helps

I don't get it......... which part of this image is the one that is "ridiculously disproportionate?" Are you suggesting that the fire is too much for them to handle? If that is it, then sorry.......... but they are actually LIGHTING it as a precaution. Seems all quite under control to me.
