Visually, this stands above the others: a classically balanced composition, but then you wonder about the red sun, then really begin to notice what is happening... and finally, finally (after seeing the helicopter and water bomb(?)) appreciate your title. Stunning work.
very nice shot and a bad title - why man? why not the power of nature or any other name - what does man have to do with this pic (unless this is another where is Waldo prank) -8
Hard to see the tiny water-drop plane, but guessed something should be there from the title. But no matter; this is a great shot of the devastation, power, and light/darkness of a forest fire. Love the sun darkened by smoke!
I think that is a helicopter carrying water? I think this is a major part of the story behind this image but it is just too small in the frame - I thought it was a bird at first...
Simply fantastic and breathtaking! The helicopter is the icing on the cake giving the viewer some scale and context to this amazing scene. Well done. My top pick thus far.
