		| | Oh yeah, there we go. :-) 
 I prefer the first one.  The closeness makes it look much more impressive.  I also think the shot looks more balanced.  I'd imagine the detail looks good too on a larger shot.

		| | I prefer the second - I get a sense of the bucket brigade and the teamwork in putting the fire out |

		| | I like the second as well for the same reason. |

 Hehe true but the funny thing is that they are not trying to put the fire out :) They are througing a gasoline on the fire :) This is always done on 31. of december here in Iceland ... burn some stuff and fire a few fireworks.
 This year they burned a boat here in Isafjordur (Small town on Westfjords).
 There are a picture from this in the action challenge here on dpchallenge that some guy sent in ... don't know who :)

		| | I prefer the group shot.  It seems extremely dramatic because it would be harder to get; more unusual to see.

		| | My first impression when choosing wich is best, I  like the second! But always go with your own first impression and its what you like the most! They are both wonderfull pictures!

		| | First one -- fills the frame, better composition due to no neg. space at top... more involved, more feeling :)

		| | First one as well, the compostion makes the photo much more impactful. The second is just too loose to me. |

		| | The first one, although if I was entering the second I would crop to just three guys. |

		| | definately the second, much more dramatic! |
