Nicely executed, if a cliche. Good work.

Nice shot, I like the idea. However the blue hue in this photo isn´t really appealing to me aesthetically, think I would have liked this better in it´s original coloring. Also I always like shots of fire much better when there is texture in the flames, not blow out like this but this is a nice shot, got a 6 from me.

Yup, it failed, but ultimately suceeded in buring down the neighborhood. Nice composition and cool post-processing to make for some interesting flames.

That's painful to see... Hopefully that drive had Windoze loaded on it though. ;)
