For those who asked, the "rail" at the bottom of the photo is actually the rim of the cauldron that the smoke is emiting from. I debated about leaving it in or taking it out. In the end, I decided to leave it in to give the viewer an idea of where the smoke was coming from. Judging by the comments, I probably should have taken it out.
Thanks for all the constructive comments.

Very convincing, perhaps a tad over dramatic, but the image gives off a sense of humor. The outfit fits the occasion and the colors outside the face are nice and soft to help the ambiance.
Absolutely awesome! My favourite photograph. Can I just ask what it is on the bottom of the frame - is it a table top or a boat side or something? The only part of the image that I personally wouldn't have included. I think its an awesome shot though.
I would have rated this slightly higher, but the bar across the bottom bothered me. When I crop it out, the overall picture looks more concise or uniform. With it, I'm drawn to it and wonder about the relationship between the "mist" and the bar.
Well done, I love the expression on wizards' face. An awful lot of greeen though, contrasting colors in the wizards' clothes would have 'made' the shot IMO. 9
Great shot, its all happening here and the Wizards expression is top notch. You did a good job with the smoke but think you may have rated higher with some more and cropping out the fence? [7]
I like the smoke, great expression. the rauling in front is distracting, not sure of its purpose, the glowing edge aroud the ball is nice. I would have liked to see a "vision" in the ball of some "fairy tale" quality, there does appear some figure between his thumb & index..Good shot.
I love this photograph. All elements fall together perfectly, the composition, the costume, the props, the pose and expression and I very much admire the fact that it hasn't all been done with photoshop. I can imaging this as a screenshot from a made for tv children's show (that's a completely, really it is :) 10
