Suddenly someone shouted:
The tower is in flames!



In Valencia, in this epoch there are a few parties that are called Las Fallas. During these parties, every neighborhood does a few figures in those who criticize with humor some topic (normally some kind of current importance). When they finish the parties, these figures burn and this photo is the result of it, they did a false belfry (of more than 20 meters of height) and then they burned it.

Hola Gabriel,

Realmente la foto impresiona, la escena es dramatica,

buena captura,

saludos,

cristina

Me preguntaba cuándo la colgarías, está foto sabes que me gusta mucho, porque el juego de la oscuridad y la luz del fuego es muy impactante. Está muy bien localizado el foco importante, ese edifcio en llamas. Qué buena captura¡

Un beso, Sara.

Hello Gabriel

This is perfect illustration of : to be at right place at right time...

Dramatic situation. good photo.

WOW! WOW! This photo is great, Gabriel. Was this a demolition, terrorism, or vandalism by a pyromaniac or what? It's a great shot. Well-done for composition and timing of the shot. Sad to see the loss of a great heritage if it was not purposeful in the sense of necessity such as for safety reasons. TFS.

Hey muchacho!
Ya sabes que me encanta esta y al igual que Sara me preguntaba cuando la colgarías ;))
Esta muy bien los colores y que no este quemada a pesar del intenso foco luminoso, por eso se pueden apreciar las escalas cromáticas de las llamas, muy bien hecho!!

Ay ay estos valencianos quemando los ahorros en público XDD

Un saludo de feliz San Patricio!!

Fotografiar el fuego no es tarea fácil, y no solo en fotografía. Tú lo has conseguido, sin duda. A excepción de esos cables, algo molestos, la toma es perfecto en cuanto a luz, color y composición. Tiene mucha fuerza, tanta como el fuego.

Enric.

Wow image here. The wires form a line leading to the fire. Excellent!

TFS.

beautiful shot. Nice POV , great colors and the right contrast for this difficult night shot.

Hi Gabriel,

Perfect exposure here... the flames really do burst out in the surrounding darkness... looks quite impressive. I also like the crop/composition, the way the crop seems to corner the flames... quite nice. Ah wow talk about good timing! Well done Gabriel, tfs.

Biance.

Hello Gabriel,

Interesting this party, we can say that is photo-journalistic shot.
Very high visual impact and dramatic.
beautiful sharp details and well exposed.
Congratulations

Hi Gabriel,

Whoaaa..this one looks like a real tower getting burned in Hollywood movies. Nice color and effect of the burning.
