 We always keep our little Canon Powershot A75 in the van - it came in very handy one time when somebody ran into my car.
This morning, there was a fire across from where I work, and the little camera got to see the light of day for a few moments, because as soon as I saw the firefighters up on that ladder, I thought of this challenge (one of the signs of DPC addiction, right?)

I'd laugh (or cry??) if this snapshot - taken with a little 3 megapixel point & shoot - did better than my submissions usually do! LOL

Love the warm sunlight, and I'm SO glad you didn't duck under the trees because the framing is great.

Nice capture - Nice crisp well exposed image - Nice warm tones (Excuse the pun) and good composition - Just wish there was a little more drama and smoke.

Nice capture! The branches at the top are a bit distracting IMO. Others will probably disagree with me though :)
