Hello from the DPC Critique Club!
I have studied your image and have the following to offer:
Composition/perspective: perfect placement to get just the right shot. Very nice subject placement. I am torn though, the left side of the image really has nothing to do with your composition and title combination and I find I am drawn to the fire there. The strength of your image is the fireman. I don't think it is overly distracting, but it does draw your attention a bit. However, overcoming that IS the strength of your subjects. They are caught in action, unaware of your presence and it really has an impact. The falling timber really sets up a nice element you have used very well with your title. It is a strong composition and certainly deserves attention. You definitely were in the right place at just the right moment. Very well done!
Color: the colors are well preserved and represented all across the image. Very nice contrasts and the fireman really stand out as the bright spots - they grab you right away. The flames and smoke are absolutely true in tone.
Lighting: very well used and controlled natural lighting. The dark areas still show full detail (the water in the window for example) and the brighter areas, particularly the flame and smoke, are clear and crisp.
Challenge requirements: I felt this was one of the strongest images in the challenge. It definitely is a photojournalistic image. It also was not forced/set-up which adds all the more strength. I could picture this on the front page of any local newspaper. Excellent job!
Overall/my opinion: as stated I thought this was a really strong entry for the challenge. It is powerful, has impact, and certainly portrays the situation extremely well. The processing applied preserved all the detail in the wood and burnt timbers - real nice textures - and was not overdone at all. I don't think I would change a thing. It really makes you feel like you are there. Very well done in every aspect. |
