I had a blast at the local "fire station", taking photos for the "Enviromental Portrait" challenge, as the guys agreed to rig up in all their protection gear for me.
The three on duty firemen were Mark, the giant, Steve, the hunk, and John, the clown. You can tell that the image I chose to enter, is of Steve. I especially love the cute "twinkle" in his eye.
We had so much fun during the shoot, and I will post some "outtakes" here, and also in my portfolio, after the challenge.

WOW!! wow wow wow wow wow!! what an amazing candid/portrait. i love this. his smile is so sincere and you've done a wonderful job capturing the essence of a fireman!
Well he sure is a hunk :P i love this photo.. the way he's looking away from you to the sky makes it special. There is some thing a bout the postpro, that dosen't quite make it for me..maybe that the red channel is to high dont know.. but the set up and over all image is great :)
Underrated! Great job on this, Sherryl! Didn't vote the challenge but a definite 9 from me! (a 10 if you would've started a fire in the village behind him) ;-)
Strong sense of character here, which is good. There's a sense, around his face, of some over-processing: the detail there seems rather created than naturally captured - some areas seem slightly blurred together, but that could of course just be compression to get the file size down.
Nice shot with a good backround but I am not fond of the coloring in this photo, his skintones are very red and I have a feeling that is not how he is in real life, think it has more to do with the WB and saturation of this image.
Great environmental portrait. There seems to be a rather a red tint to the skin though - this would benefit from a little colour correction there I think.
