windows, doors and allyways... a wander through Newtown

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.

Forum rules
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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

meet up with Rob (shoot) and Jeff (trotkiller) for a bit of a wander around Newtown today, an overcast sky and a little drizzle set the mood for these Photos... but it didn't dampen the good time I had

Keith,

Nice colours and framing in the second, and great shadow detail in the last of these.

#3's my favourite, though it would have been great if the guy with the backpack was leaning up against the wall where the '70' is painted and looking at the camera. Maybe crop a bit more on the right hand side too to balance the spacing of the window sills to the edges of the frame.

#1 loses it for me with the falling away of the perspective lines. Maybe if you'd been more straight on with the window?

Good theme though!

Keith, 2nd and 4th have my vote

2nd one - love the contrast of the strong reds. Interesting subject.

4th one - great detail and depth.

Is that an urban terrorist in the 3rd? :)

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)
