Jeff, this is a great image...I was in San Diego visiting from Australia the day the fires started...no, I didn't light the fires...I was in church :-)
hehe.. I think the title's pretty funny, myself. But I'm not the one whose cars got burned up. It is a decent shot of little pieces of the destruction, though maybe not THE shot to document it. But you know that better than I do anyway.
to be honest I didnt get the California connection. To me It looks like a few thugs burnt out some cars. I was one of your 4's. The title really put me off track.
I like the wide angle and inclusion of the trees and mountains as the environment helps to tell a story. This appears to be a significant newsworthy story. Should do well.
I like the symmetry of your image. With your image, I find the title distasteful and in poor humor, but that's me and I certainly don't hold that against the photo itself.
most of the drama this image could have, has been lost due to this loose and centered composition. A closer camera position and a wider lense would have made the job.
Sad scenario for all of the California victims. I hate the title - seems a bit insensitive, considering the situation. Maybe I'm just being too soft hearted. It certainly tells a story, even without the title, so it fits photojournalism just fine.
