WOW! This really pulls you in. It's as if you've just escaped and are looking back from the bushes at what would have been your bright orange death.. I also love the color contrast provided by the rest of the scene. Surreal and gripping.

Okay, this is the one that I finally decided to crit on. *cracks knuckles*
The two things that really make this picture work is the color harmonies that you employed here, as well as the emotional content.
Color harmonies (along with good cropping) is what really make photos work for me personally. You have the most different way that you went about it, because you actually got two different types to work together, ie. the background and the foreground. When you simplify it, the background is a very wonderful triadic color harmony that works very well, because of the next harmony that you used, the split complementary. Although you have to shove a bit to look for the reds compared to the greens, you can get away with it when it is a photo :3 Like I said before, very well done.
Another thing is the emotional content behind all of this. If you had just said that this was one photo that you too just because it looked pretty, I would have moved onto another one of your works to crit. To have a successful piece you HAVE to have multiple layers of 'content' for it to work, whether it be historical, emotion, etc. When you actually experienced this horrible fire and wanted to record this feeling of loss that you saw and felt, it shows up in your work, and make others feel it too.
And truthfully, I can't find anything negative to say about this at all. Good work!! If the foreground hadn't been there, it wouldn't have been as successful, but you got it :3

Yes I did ^^ I had literally looked through all of your work, and slowly whittled down the list until I came up with this one and another. Then I got a buddy of mine to check them out too, to make sure that I wasn't being biased or anything. Once I got the okay, I hopped on it :3 I was just glad that I got the opportunity to be allowed to crit a picture from someone such as yourself. You're very much welcome!!

I know I shouldn't be, because I have to do it when I'm in school, but really when I go in to teach at my old high school. But really, your work is great! :3 I wouldn't bother to watch you if I didn't like your works.
Good luck with your future works! You and your wife! X3

:/ I don't think that I could deal with a job like that. I get too emotional over things.

Even though it's sad it's a very beautiful picture, I just love the colours and the golden glow in the background.
