Oak Glenn Canyon Fire, shot this evening. Doubt there'll be a chance for a re-shoot, and the light was almost nil. I think the flag's being lit with a 150W bulb.

Any comments, much appreciated.

    Hi Smithy. Glad to see that you're diving into the challenges.

    There are some pretty colors in this shot, but I think it needs some touching up. I would start by cropping out the bottom third of the photo as it is pretty empty, making it hard to locate your subject. You also might try cropping a little bit from the left side. The flag itself needs a little something to make it pop from the red background, but unfortunately I'm not sure what to suggest.

    It has potential, so I'd like to see it with a little bit of processing. Theme wise I think it fits. You certainly don't get fire backdrops every day.

    The only other concern that I would have with this shot in particular is that there is another flag photo that has already been posted. Good luck, and I look forward to seeing more! thumb.gif
