I knew most of the up tight A-Holes would butcher the photo because their pea brains refuse to let them think any harder than pressing the 2 key to save their own crap photos. This is pretty easy to figure out. Firefighters live a "Wildlife" This shot was taken on the fly and no processing. I'd like to see half the "photographers" (more like GWC's) that placed before me try something like this. I'm not sure why I continue to punish myself by entering knowing full well the BS that goes on with DPC voting. My respect goes out to a few that placed in this challenge and the rest of you box shooters... well I think you know where I stand on that matter.
Wow! Having read what the challenge required, you're the only one acting like an A-hole. The challenge requirements were quite clear and you failed to meet them or even come close.
What he said, Nick. I for one never ever deliberately vote down others shots in the stupid and vain hope that it will make my score rise - cause it doesn't work! They get scrubbed! Give out worthwhile scores/comments, get the same back.
Or are you just p.o.'d that you and your experience and big-ass lens and camera combined can't beat people with beginner-level DSLRs? Am I one of the recipients of your spiteful little 2s? I am very, very hard-pressed to ever give out anything less than a 4.
And the whole thing with Jdubsgirl...pitiful. Truly.
If you don't enjoy photography, and are still sooo delicate and precious that you can't accept criticism, then dpc will be all the richer for your departure.

I beat you on the brown. I went out of the box and my score reflects it but I'm still happy with it and glad I entered it in the wildlife challenge. Way to go on yours. Excellent image and very much fits the challenge in my opinion.
Hey Nick!! I knew this was yours so didn't vote it...I think it's excellent -gosh! you can almost feel the HEAT there,,
After your "near miss" last year, I give you 2 10s for having the stuff to go back to the hot zone!
You are probably getting nailed with DNMC comments, really nice capture, and one i would score well in a fs, I'm open to stretching the challenge a bit, but i think the main focus behind the challenge was to have animal shots.
