This picture did what I expected. I knew that I was riding the line on the DNMC, but I thought what the heck. Those that appreciate the image and gave creative feedback, I appreciate it and will take it to heart as I am way more novice than an amateur, so I will be learning and coming back with a vengeance.

I think that all the comments regarding "I wish there were fire in this one". Be a little more creative people! What is the sun but a giant FIREball. The best way put so far was if it fails - it fails with grace. After seeing the results - I see why the winners won - but I for one think this meets the challenge in an abstract non-cut-and-dry sense.

Nice capture. Just enough color to make it interesting.

Lacks the "wow' factor required for this challenge

I'd like to see some actual fire in the fire challenge

Even though a nice picture I don't see the fire. Yes the title kind of makes the picture fit the challenge but I'm not seeing the sun (fire).

Nice sky, I wish there was a little bit more of land to balance the pic.

Beautiful sunset, though a bit oversaturated in the pinks. Doesn't really meet the challenge, but not a bad photo overall.

Well I know the DNMC folks have been putting you through the ringer. They have a point but I am sure you know that. It is a beautiful sky! Sky images like this I always shoot and keep but most of the time I think sky's don't have a focus I mean No subject. So its easy to get lost in a cloud. So with no fire too! You see where I am going? A mercy 5

Beautiful shot. I do not personally feel like it meets the challenge. However, if there is a "right" way to get a DNMC, this would be it. It is hard to put into different words what I mean, but I feel like while this photo fails to meet the challenge, it fails with grace - with thought to the challenge and not a blatent defiance of it. I am marking you down but not as much as I otherwise would because I do see where you put thought into the shot. Again, this is a beautiful photo - and one you should be very proud of.

nice capture but I'd prefer more of the trees included in this. there is so little they almost seem like an accident if you had more they would look like more a part of the scene. beautiful colors though.
