    Firemen!

    Here are a few shots from the A&M Fireschool. Let me know what you think! Advice is always welcome.

    Re: Firemen!

    The top photo of the happy firefighters could easily be cropped from the top and left side.

    The bottom photo looks off vertical to the left plus you chopped off the arm of the third firefighter. I think that if you could reshoot move to your left a bit to get more hose in the image and have the firefighters more in front of the flames.

    I like your images but I would have shot the first one with more of the firemen and less sky. The second one looks good, very dramatic.

    Cheers,

    Not bad... I pretty agree with the others' comments. Note that even before I read the title I thought that the second photo was staged or something - turns out it's a firefighting school, which sorta makes it staged.. I would also crop off the top 1/2 of the second image, seems more to-the-point w/o the top area.

    Also, I like how you got the people involved in the shot on # 1. That's definitely one area I need some work on....
