Nice shot. Could have gone into the smoke challenge...or, was this an outtake from it? Nicely done!

This is CRAZY!!! I can almost smell the sulfur - really gets the sense of the element across. Interesting pallette: yellow, orange, purple and blue.

If that really is sulfur, that has to stink! Really nice shot with the smoke/mist, color. Good composition.

I like the picture. It won't effect my vote, but I don't understand the title. Is this the mystical realm of Solfatara? Do you mean please don't steal the sulfur?

Cute composition, but abandoned? I'm probably missing something...

Greetings from the Critique Club
by strangeghost

The first three parts of this critique are written based purely on examination of your photo. "Final thoughts" is written after reviewing your score, photographer's comments, and voter comments.

TECHNIQUE
Colors are vivid and eye catching. Is that selective desaturation? It's an effective method. The subjects really stand out. On my monitor it looks as though it may be a bit over processed, as in a little too much USM. Not bad though and it doesn't really detract.

COMPOSITION
I like the composition. The subject is evidently the owner of the stand, waiting for a customer. Or, since he's resting his hand on the motorbike, maybe he's the customer, waiting for the proprietor to return? The brightly colored signs lend interest, as does the no parking sign just behind the bike (irony). The man's facial expression is apparent, with that slightly bored or distracted sidewise glance. I like his paunchy appearance too. As a matter of personal preference, I would have liked to see the human subject emphasized a bit more in the composition, but that's a taste matter. I think it's effective as shot too.

EMOTIONAL IMPACT
It's a pleasant image that has attractive technical merits, but it does not have a strong emotional punch. Sometimes a nice shot is enough though.

FINAL THOUGHTS
Your score of 6.0 shows that the voters appreciate the simple goodness of this shot. Some nice comments that caught a few of the same points I raised. All in all a good score, I think, for a good shot.
