Please, please, please, I have been waiting for this moment so that I can ask what that is a photo of. I mean, what does it mean?

I feel like an idiot, but I have been lost. It is well done and all, but I just can't put my head around the story..........what is happening.

Oh, congratulations! It is a very well done photo.

Ginger,
It looks to me like a photograph of firefighters putting out a fire. This photo is laying on a table and hqsbud has lit a fire on the edge to represent the fire in the picture and put water on the table to represent the water from the hose - thus bringing the photo "to life". Quite and idea!

snapapple, you have it nearly as I was thinking! The people live in the photo, found their photo on fire, so they of course have to put it out, and as in any emergency like this, water gets everywhere. But your version is good too! I wanted to Photoshop some smoke in too by blowing out the photo and taking another shot, but after it burned a ways, my desire to put it out with water overrode my desire for smoke.

Thanks to everyone who voted. This was quite a surprise, and I'm very grateful to everyone! Thank you so much for all the nice comments. I haven't given much feedback heretofore, so I'm trying to make up for that now!

Ah! I was one of them! I felt a certain mood when I looked at your photo, kind of like a Life magazine photo. It's really wonderful.
