| I feel the one posted is better. The saturated one gives an impression of burning flames, whereas the original one suggests more smoke and ashes - witnesses to the destruction, which is focus here. |

Tremendous shot - understated, but all the more powerful for it.
A really strong image. |

One cannot truly appreciate the war zone of a devastating fire (including the roaring sound, smell, and the frightening sight of just how fast a fire will travel and the panic of an evacuation) until one has been on the doorstep as so dramatically captured in this photo.
Congrats on your ribbon...but sadly so! |

ETA: 6829!! views since voting (that has no doubt changed by the time I hit the edit button here!!

| I prefer your image over the firefighter image because the latter was too cliche, whereas your "only the memories remain" shot had both emotional and visual power in a unique way. Having seen both during the voting process I knew the voting would be tight. This is a truly exceptional image and I think it should have been the blue ribbon winner in this challenge. Congratulations. Cheers, Sandra. |

EXCELLENCE HERE! technically perfect and also a quite poignant & gripping image...on so many levels this photograph grabs, and then hits the soul...the title brings this home, as one realizes the enormity of the loss not just @ this home, but for all.
10++
GOOD LUCK! |

This is tough subject under any conditions. Having nearly died in a fire myself as a young boy this hits home for me. Some people might be offended by this as a record of someones pain and suffering but eventhough this hits me hard it is still important to document happenings like this. For all conserened I hope and pray that everyone there is safe.
This is powerful and reminds us that as people we are strong and if everyone got out safely there is hope in the face of adverstiy. On a personal level if this is your own home, the home of family member or a friend, it took, I'm sure, a tremendous amount of strenght to post this and I applaud you for that strenght and can at this point only offer our prayers to you and yours.
As I often do I remember the fire in our home and the pain that came with it everything that we lost and the things that we didn't. The thing that sticks with me the most and in the most vivid detail were the teenage kids and the mindless adults laughing at our plight and the ease at witch they were hoping that they would see some dead people. I'm sure that this is not the case here seeing as the devestation is so wide spread.
Again I hope that all is well there and everyone is ok. |

| This is a great shot. The picture frame of the burned doorway with the burning outside and burned inside of the home makes this one of the best and probably the riskiest picture of the challenge. How on earth did you get this? I have an entry, and I'm not voting, but I would rate this highest of the challenge that I've seen so far. And to think I was only a couple of miles from this. |
