I enjoy gazing at the sky and taking time, to be aware of my surroundings.The clouds and its surroundings injects a strong sense of calm before the storm feeling..wonderful patterns throughout with B&W. The striking colors of fire and the human emotions involved amidst it, makes me wish that life was spared. Congratulations to both Garrick and Jenne Lynn! 🙂
Congratulations Garrick and Jenne!
Congratulations to the winners, nice work all around…
Congratulations! Garrick and Jenne Lynne. Both are amazing images. Thank you for sharing as they both provide excellent examples of photography. Much revered. 🙂
In response to the comments of the judges, it’s fair to mention I was a firefighter and medic for many years before this. Though I had retired due to a head trauma 5 years before this occurred. But many of the young guns were either students or former colleagues, so passage beyond the yellow line wasn’t an issue. I was even tossed a helmet when stuff started falling.
But in the first 15 minutes, there was no line. It exploded quick and hot, and the only thing that kept you back was the heat.
Congratulations Jenne and Garrick 🙂
