Greetings from the Critique Club!

Ahh, woodies, gotta love them. The pun goes over especially well here, as certain lunatics umm, members are known for both their liberal use of woodies and fire.

The shot itself is well focused and lit with what lights you have (not unlike mine :-) The settings for the shot are good, and you didn't overdo the pp. The details, the fireman's outfit and axe, are all great.

However, the image is a bit static, you need to tell more of a story here. SOmtimes it's a tossup - use a studio setting and have complete control over everything, or take your chances and woodie/camera to a location where you may have to put up with inconsistent lighting, but end up with a more colourful and creative shot.

All in all, a good effort and you finished well, so keep on shooting and have fun! Look forward to seeing more of your entries.

Feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan
