Hi, Greetings from the Critique Club:

Composition: I feel this image has a great story but it is hidden by the clutter. We can see there are two firemen and a fire. The rest of the image doesn't tell us much...so it doesn't need to be there. I have taken the liberty to work on your image as you can see below. As you can see I have cropped in fairly heavily. Can you see why though? Look at the expressions on their faces. That is great. You have to realise that this site only allows a 640pixel size. That isn't going to show much to the viewer, so you need to show the most obvious. That expression would just nail this image. The fire behind links them to the location. That is all you need.

Technical: The lighting is right, especially considering the heat of the moment. The timing of the capture is right. The focus was right. I did, however find that a nudge of Shadow/Highlight, Contrast and Saturation worked for this image. Gave it that bit more punch.

Overall: A great image with loads of potential given the right treatment. Don't give up and keep looking for those magical moments.

this is an okay pj shot, but even if they firefighters are "out of water," this photo still does not convey the idea of "hate" for me. sorry - 3

I'm sorry.... I can't figure out what this is! :( But the lighting and focus is nice.
