...just an added note to the author...Showing the steps you took in an SBS will help voters to judge your work more accurately. Looking through your sources I realize you used a ton of work on this image... the added filter to merge at the end made this into a Painting and not really a photo...not a bad thing per se but something to consider in photoshop competition. I personally really enjoy the filter effect and this image would be awesome as a decoration in a firefighter's home or a Fire House in a second.

Filters are often thought of as simple ways of manipulating a photo and are often reviled in photoshop competition. (Believe you me hehehe). But in review of all your sources and the definite effort you placed into this chop, I find the finished product intriguing. Good luck and I hope to see more of your work

Author, when placing your sources, the first slot is for the "LINK" and the second slot is for a THANK YOU to the source (works well with Flickr/Deviant Art when the artist wishes to be acknowledged that it is their photo) or for explaining where the photo was used in the chop. (Makes it less of a head ache for the mods, I'm sure.) It's a pretty easy peasy fix great idea all around

Author, you're placing source links in the area used for text. Use the other box.

That is ok, but I really do not go for that filter effect...kind of distracting....

Nicely done. You followed the theme and used good acceptable sources! I even see a bit of a Droste effect (picture within a picture).

Good composition, but too filter heavy for my taste.
