| Very personal and emotional and "in the moment." |

| I like that I get a "tension-less" feeling out of this photo; instead of seeing a fireman attacking the fire, it seems he's just looking at it, having given up trying to put it out.. just waiting for it to end, contemplating about what or who got lost in it. 10! |

| Very atmospheric shot but perhaps not a very integral part of "city life". |

| Wow I love the fire blazing fiercely in the backdrop and how it lights up the contours of the fireman's face. I love the colour scheme and the composition of the photograph alot. |

| This is awesome. Just enough detail in his silhouetted face. The colors are beautiful (sorry for saying something so tragic is beautiful, but it is) I just love this one. 10 |

| take on City LIfe! I wonder what his story is. Would be interesting to find out, huh? Nice clean clear crip close up. |

| Great angle! Not a view we get to see every day! I REALLY like this shot! |

| Like the way face fades to black on the left |

| to me this does not depict city life as a fireman could be anywhere as they are not only in the city - I do like the over the shoulder perspective though |

| Very strong image! Great composition and the lighting is just right. Good work! |

| I think the shallow DOF less effective here since not enough of the face is shown and the flames would be interesting if given more detail, also not expressive enough of the city |

| Great photo I think...but City Life ? Give it 7 nevertheless, since I like it... |

| wow, but is that a fire in a city? |
|

| very cool angle, i love the silhouette but im not so sure this is really city life |

| Fire has always been a living risk in cities - it is part of the life of every community. Good interpretation of the challenge. |

| Fabulous photo. This is really awesome. Great use of focus and DOF, focusing us on the fireman, but the intense, bright color of the fire also jumps out at us, even more than the man at first. |

| Great composition and use of the light. Well done! |

| Hmm...doesn't strike me so much as city life as it does a good portrait shot. I see the connection, I just feel it has more potential in another catagory. Love the reflected light on his face, and the OOF fire in the background. |

| Difficult to remove that spot on the head with basic editing, but maybe despeckle may have done the trick? Otherwise, a really good capture. |

| great shot. it shows the view from the fireman well |

| Very dramatic. Nice capture of the profile, with just a hint of color line to define the features. |

| Awesome shot, but fess up, he's fighting a forest/brush fire, isn't he. ;-) |

| Great image with the unfortunately available light. |

| would have been better with the fire in focus |

| In another challenge this would score highly for the study, composition and evocation. Being picky though, this is not definitively City Life, since the firefighter could be anywhere - but I like this shot muchly. |

| For City Life...this could be anywhere. There is no indication at all that this is actually in a city. |

| A fine image. Good capture, perfect lighting. (Would also be good for the backlighting challenge). My best scorer this one :) |

| Lovely moody dramatic shot. Could be at one of the bush-fires here in Australia. I love the composition and colour, sharpness is wonderful. It perhaps doesn't convey "City" very much, but other than that it's perfect. Definitely at the top-end of the results in my opinion. |
