    Those guys look tired, I think I would have taken one big step to the left leaving the guy on the left out of the shot and more of the guy on the right in the shot. I like seeing all of the equipment in the background it gives one a more since of what was going on and why they are so tired.

    That's much better, the guy on the left was to much of a distraction. I like the tilted angle as well. All of the equipment in the background makes me wonder just how hard it is to fight a fire.

    The latest crop of this photo is excellent and really shows the effort put into fighting fires.

    Nicely done.

    Tyson, I agree with the others on the second crop. Having the equipment in there shows just how tough it is being a firefighter. Well done.

    The second picture is straight off the camera, when I shoot on a busy fire scene I take severak shots.

    Second shot is a good one Tyson !
    It shows physical exertion, and just how good it feels to get a break.
    The empty bunker gear, hoses and tanks in the background add to the shot.
    Nice capture ! :thumbsup:
