The shot isn't bad. The biggest problem here is that your photoshopping doesn't flow with your photo. Your shot has almost entirely midrange tones, but the piece you added is straight black and straight white, which makes it stand out from the shot as unnatural. The font you used seems like a poor fit as well. The result seems to be a solemn shot with a somewhat cheesy tag added to it, leaving it quite unbalanced. If your intention was to create a contrast by adding a lighthearted tag to a heavy shot, that's a different matter entirely, but I didn't get that impression.

Greetings from the Critique Club --

My main concern with this photo is that the subject is very difficult to discern. I'm all for abstract photography, but this looks like you were actually trying to frame a subject and just didn't quite do it. One suggestion would be to not have such a tight crop; this would allow the viewer to put the subject in perspective and see that it's a hot spring. It would also allow them to see the scale of the water burst.

On the right side of the photo, the detail, focus, and lighting are just excellent -- really exemplary. If the subject were better defined, this would make a much better photo.

The high-contrast sign is a bit odd with the low-contrast image

Nice picture, a little fatalist, the only thing i don´t like is the edition of the sign, it could be more realistic in order to give a higher impresion.

The plaque and lettering do not match the rest of the image.. Perhaps you should have put the lettering direct onto the wood and used a bevel tool to inset it?

Kind of makes me think the question is "If?", when the question is, "when?"

Made me laugh even it's not probably sopposed to be funny. Image could use a bit more contrast between the greys. Coube sharper too.
