Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

So I came home the other day to find my street blocked for this local event. Luckily I had my camera in my car and thought I would give some photojournalism a go. Well I don’t know if you could call it photojournalism as such. Hopefully these photos tell the story of the religious procession from the Italian club to the catholic cathedral.
The effigy they were carrying looked quite striking against the tree-lined background. I don’t know what the symbolism of all that money is – perhaps it was a donation they were about to give to the church? Apparently this group has been doing this for at least the last 40 years.
Anyway - Please let me know what you think of my conversions and my styalistic efforts (I dont do this style of shoot a lot).

Excellent treatment of a fabulous subject! I like the heavy conversion...how did you do that? Also, it really pays off to keep your camera handy...a lesson for all.
Regards

What a great opportunity, and you did a fantastic job to capture it. The treatment works very nicely in my opinion, just beautiful stuff... thanks for sharing.

Awesome shots WW. Well captured. The B&W conversion works a treat. I especially like pic #2 with all that money 'What's doing there?' 
Cheers,
Bill

Thanks for your positive comments MK. I used the virtual photographer suite to convert to B+W and then used the sliders to make it heavier.
On some of the images i then used colour chanels to add a little bit of a tint.
So many times i have seen something awesome and gone without due to no cam, but i was lucky this time.
My all time un-favorite missed moment was i was driving to a friends house just before a big storm was about to hit Canberra, and went past a field with three beautiful golden palimino horses, that were being illuminated by bright sun (through a small break in the coloud). The background was very dark with the storm clouds and the contrast between the golden horses and the background was breath taking. Sadly - it is an image that will only live on in my mind.

Must be an Italian thing mate? There was a fair bit of moolah there. Im unsure why they display it like that. Wow factor perhaps  ?
