The things DPC'ers do just for a good photo :-) Okay I'll ask, what is it? Did ya blow up the neighbours house? Or is this your idea of a good barbecue? The rich colors are so vibrant, your photo has really come alive. Just the two little black marks in the sky are a little bothersome, but without spot editing them there isn't much you can do about it - 9.

Nothing like an explosion to get attention! Nice work, especially the lighting and composition. 9

WOW! This is a wildly cool shot!! Mass destruction! Great color and visual impact. Who got burned? What are the two black dots in your blue sky? Just curious.... I see an odd color line just above your border on the botton (it's just one or two pixel rows)??? 10 Rob the Swash

This is great, not sure what those 2 spots are but i`ll give you extra points for not spot editing them out (although if should be allowed for specks like this). 10

Here's one of the best photos regarding the question part. And not to make it sound like I just like the question, a well executed photo too. Great exposure on the fire.

Definitely wondering what the heck caused this conflagration! Fantastic color. Only distractions (not that you could have done much about them) are the small pieces of debris in the top center and right center of the frame.

Well captured detail in the flames, shame about the couple of 'spots' in the sky.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/09/2003 01:20:32 AM
Cool, hope you post the original when the challenge is over cause I'd like to see all of it! Good job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Interesting, but I would like to have a subject of some type in or above the flame. The sky seems to have some noise in the blue ski.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/08/2003 10:50:05 AM
Wow, don't know how you got this one, but it works! 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/08/2003 09:28:58 AM
WOW! The flames look like smoldering boulders, great detail too! Smells like a winner.

Great shot, nicely captured. Probably doesn't need that border and I think it confines the picture a bit. Nicely picks out the colours from the flames, smoke and sky, good job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/07/2003 07:11:29 PM
It's those black spots up there that make me think spot editting should be allowed. if it wasn't for those this would look really awesome. nice shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/07/2003 04:41:59 PM
Yeesh! That does indeed make ya wonder what on Earth was going on here! Nicely captured -- I'll look forward to reading the details on this one.

wow, awesome!! What the hell did that???

Great colors, and good detail...........
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/07/2003 01:16:08 PM
You've got to be kidding me! How on earth did you get a shot like this? Do you work on a movie set? The spots on the sky are distracting but WHO CARES!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/07/2003 01:10:35 PM
This is just wonderful. The color is very good. One of my highest so far.

wow, This is cool. Was this taken on your 4th of July expeditions???
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/07/2003 06:02:09 AM
Great shot, makes you wander what is under the flames. The two dots over the flames are a bit distracting, but not too much, and you probably couldn't do anything about it = 7
