John, OUCH, but thank you, I guess part of it is my fault because I photographed the 11x14 prints outside with a K20D rather than scanning the negs.I was in a hurry..As far as the fireman in the burning car photo, what was more important to me was the intense flames and the no parking fire zone sign. That is what made the photo and that is why it was published in a few newspapers. Without the sign in the picture, it is just another car fire photo. The person who owned the car went into the movie house and left the car where it should not have been parked..Joe

Thanks Joe I think it's pretty much pointless to submit to the gallery now - your shots get rejected by people who obviously have a very different opinion of what makes a good image.
