Thank you all for the comments and the score.
@Ileana, multumesc pentru aprecieri, cat despre punctaj cred ca am gresit la titlu putzin, fara sa citeasca cineva si povestea titlul nu prea merge cu imaginea. Ai mare drepatte despre concursuri sunt stimulente, mi-ar placea si mie sa fie orientat site-ul putzin mai spre alt gen de fotografie dar asta e :))
Felicitari pentru aceasta fotografie, mi-a placut foarte mult, nici n-as fi zis ca e o figura de roman (mi se parea mai mult anglosaxon, irlandez poate). Bineinteles, ca de obicei, merita un punctaj mai mare si un loc mai in fata, insa pt. mine conteaza participarea si ideile pe care le poate stimula un astfel de concurs. Numai bine. Ileana
it's a very strong picture of a fireman, but it doesn't really works with the title. (i think something like "hero fireman saves family from the dead", he looks so proud, not like he's just lost seven buddies) Ah well... it's a picture contest, not about headlines, so i'll ignore the headline.
Decent photo. Decent headline. However, the photo and the headline don't exactly match up. Usually firefighters share a very close bond. Seven dying in a blast makes me think they'd be _slightly_ more emotional than the firefighter pictured here. Good attempt regardless.
