Taken at Olympic Park on the University of Utah campus this has to be one of the top photographs that I have ever taken. I'm not so sure how this is going to do here at DPC as it seems that every shot that I really like gets killed. I'm hoping for at least something in the 6.1x or above range.

Not much advanced editing going on here, cloned out some power lines and worked with curves, h/s and b/c. That's all folks.

I like the figures included in the shot - one might almost think they're statues but for the motion on the left.

Great colors and very nice & interesting composition. IMO bluring the sky to get rid of the grainy feel would make the shot more apealing to me but very nice image. Back to bump you up to 8.

Very interesting shot. I think the flames look great, and the silhouetted people are good too. Great focus and color saturation.
