very impressive, you must have been pretty close to the action to catch this so clearly! I shot pictures of the Crown Valley fire here in S. California a couple of years ago, and got a really bad sinus infection from breathing in all that ash....Be careful ! #2279070Rakesh Syal January 12, 2006

Awesome "right in the action" shot! #2299505Mette Vendelboe Allison January 27, 2006
Very cool shot, abit too light though, I think. Under image, adjustments there's a function called "shadow/highlighting". Try that one for making the highlights less outspoken and for darkening the rest abit to achievemore saturated colors. I think, it would make it more dramatic and emotional. Try it:-) #2344962Chris Macer January 27, 2006
Only 300mm?!? Too close for me, Dan! Amazing capture tho! :) #2345057Darryl Wilkinson February 21, 2006
