As much as I like the photograph, I cant say that it deserves a photo. The fire isnt the main subject in the photo, nor can you really see it. Another problem I see...

The fireman is dirty/sooty, but the woman is clean as a whistle... hows that possible?

I would have given this a 6.

I like the shot alot and not just because of the beautifully curved model.

The thought that has gone into this is inspiring and well deserved a ribbon. I love the lighting effect of the fire behind the subjects which really seems to push the people out of the picture.

Focus, colour are great.

Congradulations!!

Just stopped in to congratulate you and read thru some of the comments. I am just blown away that people use THIS forum. . .the one where one has just achieved the most coveted award dpc gives out -- a RIBBON -- to criticize, complain, and point out flaws in a winning photo. It's like going on T.V. after a gold medal was won and badmouthing their winning opponent. Grrrrrr. . .sorry. . .just had to vent that before telling you that this photo is awesome! I LOVE that cool expressionless, macho face. . it makes it even more dry and humorous.

I am SO GLAD this won! It deserves its place with the 2 other top honored photos!! Congratulations!!!!

After consulting with the experts, I'd like to add that just because I don't care for the results nor subject - I feel compelled to add that I have no problems with the photographic quality of your image.

Caro Jorge: parabéns pela excelente fotografia e a mestria no controlo da luz. É sempre com grande satisfação que vejo um fotógrafo português se distinguir dos demais pela sua qualidade, grande qualidade do seu caso. Espero que as suas excelentes fotos sejam uma fonte de inspiração para os colegas fotógrafos portugueses para que estes se rendam ao dpchallenge para que qualquer dia possamos fazer um encontro de dpc's em portugal.

Por 'ultipo resta-me apenas acrescentar um agradecimento pela explicação de como a fotografia foi tirada e da pós produção da mesma. Esse é um assunto com o qual eu tenho-me sempre debatido quer aqui no dpchallenge que em outros locais do género, pois para quem quer aprender trata-se de uma grande fornte de aprendizagem e mostra o espírito de abertura do fotógrafo.

Best regards and the wish of many future ribbons.
