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.

Another Storey Bridge Shot

Postby Bob G on Wed Jan 09, 2008 12:45 am

This shot was taken a few minutes earlier than the one I posted yesterday.

Please don't tell me about the rule of thirds and the horizon etc. :roll: :roll: :roll:
This is the full uncropped version. I think I like it better and even though hand held its probably a bit steadier than the other one and probably good enough to print on closer inspection.

Looks terrific. I do like the abundance of colour.

Agreed Bob,
I like this perspective of the bridge,
and the richness of the colour in the sky really makes this shot stand out.

No horizon problems here, Bob.

The Story Bridge is higher on the Fortitude Valley side than on the Kangaroo Point side. As proof, the buildings are perfectly vertical, as are the uprights on the bridge. I have taken many photos from this spot with the same result.

Oops, I just told you about the horizon. :shock:

Sorry! :)

I posted this pic on another forum and one comment was about symmetry and bulbs blown on the bridge along road level.

What do you think? - Should I clone in some fresh bulbs?

I vote No.
It is what it is, and it is great as it is IMHO :)

The reflection is spectacular, as is the whole photo.

Outstanding, Bob! Perhaps a slight tweaking of the curves to bring some detail out of the shadow areas in the lower half of the shot?

I wouldn't worry about the comments elsewhere - it's a winner.
