There was a fire about a mile from my home a week ago in the late evening. I drove down there to take some photos, and this one turned out so good in my opinion that I had to submit it.
It turns out, this guy on the ladder is actually someone that I work with. He is on the volunteer fire crew, and they had crews from all over there that night. So I gave him copies of all of the photos for his crew, and a 16x20 of this for him.
For pp, I adjusted curves, color balance, brightness/contrast and a little spot editing.

This is a great challenge. The placement of the subject could be moved to the left just a bit. The warm colors really make this image sing ;) I love orange BTW :)
This is a very dramatic shot--
I love the compostion, my only complaint is I think your flash created some ugly reflections on the suit.. Still I like this photo-- 8
