 This shot comes off a little dark but basic doesn't allow me to lighten it where I want to Hope it doesn't affect the scores too much. I had a hard decision about choosing to enter it in law of thirds or Drama. Hope I made the right choice.



What might look like noise in this shot is ash ...... the fire was to the right as well


Thanks for the comments, really appreciated!

Totally awesome!!! Great way of showing environmental drama as well as the way it affects humans. Hope nothing actually burned down : ) Oh, yeah, by the way - 10!

This is a really nice shot, however, there is a lot of noise which, to my eyes, is distracting. you might consider noise reduction software like Neat Image or Noise Ninja.
