Hi from Critique Club: Fire Exit.

You know that your photo has a WOW impact of 1.000.000.000 !!!

But,as you asked, here are some ideas:

1 - Insert a color border around the image.
2 - The image is a little light. Try to darker it a little.
3 - I believe the subject could be more centered.

Hope you like the ideas!

Regards,

Oscar Burd

Greetings from the Critique club!

I must say, first off, that I am a little jealous you got to shoot this. :)

I have to agreee with the previous commenters to certain extent. It would have have been nice to have them the people in better focus. Its understandable why this wasn't so. It looks like your focus was on the lava and not the people. Unless you were to back up a lot more they would have been out of focus no matter what. And you were shooting at f/4 which didn't give you a lot of depth of field to play with. True you could have tried to stop down but I don't think you would have gotten the depth of field anyways and you would have introduced more noise using a higher ISO or messed up the perfect capture of the lava which you got with your shutter speed. I think given all that, having the people sharp AND the lava sharp might not have been an option.

The composition works well for me. It is a little central but I think it works in this case. The people could have been separated a bit more but again, that probably wasn't an option and I think there's sufficient separation to pull it off.

In regards to the challenge? Yup...that's definitely orange. :)

Overall, a great image. Great job!

Terrific photo, and I'm pleased you got far more 6 and above votes than you got 5 and below! Still, I think this should have placed higher. I wonder if you suffered a bit in the voting because people at DPC have seen so many photos this past week of volcanic eruptions?
