So its pissing down eh ?

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.

Rooz - the rich colours, the angles and the reflections make this image what it is - fantastic!
I really like this shot and tried to think of something 'constructive' to give you...
the only thing I can think of is a SLIGHTLY tigher crop from the bottom of the image up..so we see a tad less of the deck.
Nice one champ - thanks for posting! PS - Much PP to this? The saturation seems so vivid! (not a bad thing in this shot either)

thanks geoff.
i thought of cropping it aswell at first but then i lose the reflections which i think are kinda cool. i actually have a better shot "in my head" so will wait for another rainy day to get it right.
PP:
increase saturation by 15%

I really love the high sat colours and the ultra slick reflections as well, but if it's not perfect why wait for a rainy day - just throw some washing up water on the deck :wink:
