This is lovely. It has an impressionistic look to it with the smoky sky and trees and the beautiful blue and yellow. I love the sunshine in this picture.
One of my top shots in the challenge. Having lived in soCal before, it's a biggie (fire) as far as risks. That, and this looks like a waterpainting, almost. Really nicely done.
The lightness of the colors are kinda strange. Not bad, just strange. It reminds me of paintings by Monet. Overall, I like the photo but I'm not sure it's portraying 'Risk' 100% to me.
