*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An unusual image that meets the challenge.

First of all, thanks for broadening my experience, I'd never heard of these before, quite fascinating. As regards the image itself it makes a good record shot to document lava beads and I suppose the ribbon adds some interest but beyond that the image is not really very stimulating.

It stands out distinctly against the black background and the DOF is good giving some softness to the most distant part of the ribbon, the lighting is a little flat but helps to illustrate the porous nature of the rock. It has something of a floating nature to it so that is in its favour but its difficult to get excited about it.

Thanks for your submission and apologies for the delayed critique, as they say, 'better late than never', or at least I hope it is, Sid

Not crazy about the vast negative space on this one.
