Critique Club Review:

This is such a great photo. Once I read how it was done, I am even more impressed.

Color, saturation, hue, focus, depth of field, lighting, brightness, contrast are all excellent.

I'm not sure why you presented it the way you did, but I think that is the only thing that kept you from a ribbon.

I really think the horizontal presentation cost you a few points. Everything else is just amazing. I think black0star got it right. Flames on top, with a supporting column of water, would have been magic.

Excellent photo!

This is a great concept and it looks like a pretty interesting setup. A pretty amazing result I must say. It's soo close but It needs something IMO - perhaps a bit more clarity in the water. I really do like it though. 8
