Wow, a very cool shot, Tim. Good placement of the one firefighter as an anchor on the bottom with the other one on the top of the ladder. A great action shot.   Posted: 03/13/2023 18:56:22

Hi Tim, Great action shot of someone at their job, the person at the base leads your eye up the ladder to the other, the ladder and firefighter in the background adds dimension, nice and sharp with good colour.   Posted: 03/16/2023 05:10:27

Great image that captures the power of a fire hose and makes you respect the people who are in charge of the fire hoses. Nice juxtaposition of the three firemen.   Posted: 03/16/2023 18:06:43

Great capture. Against the blue sky the firemen really stands out. To my eye the rule of thirds also plays a part.   Posted: 03/20/2023 21:21:52

Good timing here. The two firemen are in good positions for the composition as are the ladder and jet of water.
I also like the inclusion of the second fireman on the right.   Posted: 03/22/2023 07:20:16
