Very nice, and impressive with a small sensor camera. Centered composition is a tough one--it works very well here with the natural framing. Congratulations on your 4th best (mine ended up in exactly the same place on my profile page).
Thanks to all of you for the comments! I also was hoping for a higher score (6.7) but I'm aware of all the great pictures in this challenge, and that voting was specially rough.
To Terje, thanks for your comment!! It is worth more than any ribbon I could get.
To crayon, please do use your polarizer, the difference is sometimes outstanding.
To everyone that asked for Tabacon, it was remodeled and now is bigger and better than ever!! If you come to CR, make sure to visit it.
For everyone wondering what Tabacon is, it is a resort made around the hot water springs coming from the volcano, the hot water springs are widely used because of the health benefits provided by their mineral content and of course, it´s temperature.
wonderful colors and great job framing the photo, I hope this does well. came back again and bumping up to ten! So sharp and the plume is a perfect fit for the frame.
Whoa!! This exactly the shot I wanted when I was over there, lovely place and people in costa rica are so friendly! I envy you this shot, and I hope you get a blue ribbon. It's fantastic!
Good luck, and had I had a chance to give you 12 I would, but unfortunately the good people at DPC only allows me to hand you a mere 10!
I like how you used the foliage in the foreground to frame the subject. The smoke coming from the volcano fits nicely with the existing clouds making it look like it has created a lot of smoke. Very interesting capture! (8)
Oh man, seeing images like this makes it even harder for me to wait for my CR trip this summer! Nice framing and processing. The wisp of smoke above the volcano makes this shot.
When this challenge is over, I have a question for you. You're the only one that can answer my question.
Will you please PM me when the challenge is over?
Thanks in advance.
As far as the photo. The color is a bit washed, but what I like about it is it reminds of a one of those 'B' movie backgrounds. Good comp, nice movement, great texture, a little emotional value
That is an unbelievable cloud formation over the top of the volcano. Perfect timing for the shot. The color, the detail the entire capture is excellent! High marks from me.
