Gave this an 8, if I had known it was yours it would of been a 5 or something :P
Just kidding, well done matey, glad to see you got your first ribbon!
Also, just noticed I commented this shot during voting as well, so you are doubly blessed..

| Obviously great photo! Congratulations on your success! (I am curious,...Did you get some of the muted tones in the fire by heavy use of darkening the highlights feature of Shadows/Highlights? I am mostly just curious to see if my eye is still on-target with analysis of greatness.) Truly you have a great eye & post-process skills! :) |

So help me understand Laurie...you dressed in black, coloured your face with black shoe polish, headed out to the woods with your matches and petrol and your Lowepro with the camera and lens, lit the fire on some unsuspecting family's home, and when they ran out you went click, click, click, then ran back into the bushes where you came from. Would that be about right??? AND you made the local papers!!!! It's amazing what crimes people get away with these days!
:)
Well you deserve the ribbon for all that trouble, and the family was insured, right? so they get the new house they always wanted. Well done...everyone wins :) |

| Wow, Laurie... love the reduced exposure, keeping all that detail in the flames and putting focus right there. The mood this dark image creates is really powerful. Love it. |

| Nothing at all against Tim's shot, but I would have picked this for first because it is so intense and dramatic. The exposure on the flames just seems perfect to me and it was at just the right time of the evening. Superb! And a huge hug and congrats on that ribbon!! |

Beautiful capture, though |

| Very dramatic and I'm guessing not staged, which must be the first I've voted on in this challenge so thats nice to see. Could perhaps have pushed the constrast higher still with levels or curves to deepen the blacks as there is hardly any detail there anyway on my display and a building silhouette would have been stunning. The tree in the background is a shame. |
