Comment by TooCool:
I too am curious as to why you would enter this into a challenge that you yourself says it doesn't fit.

As to your own criticisms of your shot. I love the lighting here and the way it draws your eye into the shot! And as for the twig... My vote is 'Leave it', if my vote counts that is...

Edited: I read your description again and realized that the lighting was not a criticism, but a comment on what the voters would accept. Once again though I must say I love the lighting in this one...

John, why did you enter this pic in Fire if in your own words you say "I can't imagine being able to tie this image to the theme of 'fire' in any way." ???

Nice pic but why for this challenge?

I think this is a very beautiful image, nicely composed and tack sharp where it neads to be. Unfortunatly it dosent bring to mind fire. I realize it can be used to put out fire but I still dont see this photo showing or bringing to mind fire. Still very nice shot.

Is this runoff from a fire hose? Now if the water had been on fire...

Comment by jmritz:
Nice photo but the lack of a fire makes it imperative I take off a few points.

Comment by Glen King:
Moving water cannot be silent. Try a higher iso and/or faster shutter speed if possible.

Comment by Refocused:
Beautiful picture. I like it in B & W. I don't get the feeling of silence here. It makes me imagine the sound of the rushing water. Its so nice though I can't resist giving it a good score even thought it doesn't necessarily satisfy the theme. Too bad you couldn't have entered this one in another contest it deserves a 9 or 10.
