This is a powerful shot with such depth of emotion, Patrick, your composition is worth a thousand words.

Thanks Carol. I have to thank Bryan F. Peterson for the idea. It's a staged shot, but I hope it doesn't look that way. I have another shot in this section, submitted yesterday, both of which were taken yesterday at a practice fire in Chico, California.

WOW!! all I can say is goosebumps. the doll he is holding is a real tearjerker Michelle

Patrick, undoubtedly a very professional looking shot, but the fact that it is staged is immediately apparent: The firefighters' face seems too clean, and the doll is a hideously over-used cliche. I think it would have worked much better if you had lost the doll and got the guy to smear his face with dirt!

Patrick, my pictures are way too bad for me to start up a gallery yet, but I'm learning and think the shots that appear on betterphoto.com are always an inspiration.... Keep on snapping.......
