OMG that must be the fastest DD i have ever received! Thanks everyone! :heart:

Fire by `geckokid makes a good call on the choice of focal length - the distortion and slight angle give a slight feeling of disconnection with the subject and a sense of discord. - words by *AdamShepherd

This is an amazing shot. It looks like it was the perfect time of day to take it, yes?

Sucks that the building was actually on fire, though. ):

Sheer brilliance from a photography point of view... yanno. D:

I just hope everyone's alright... ._.
