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.

Had a great day walking from Woolwich to Drummoyne on Saturday - many thanks to Peter for organising this.

Here are a handful of my shots.

If you look closely, you can see some strange characters on the ferry...

C&C appreciated.

I really like #1... the lines are soo straight, but i am thinking, those windows are definitely an after thought :o

#2, i like it, not sure why, maybe because it reminds me a russia/eastern block tourist shot, with all that towering drab grey concrete, nonetheless, nice :up:

#3 let me guess, i device/machine for moving boats or containers around? interesting shot...

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

#2 - Philo really looks diminutive but sets the scale off nicely

#3 - yep, machinery

#4 - an average shot that shines through due to a beautiful treatmnet

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Re no. 1 - those windows are as they are in the building. The only PP was some straightening and a semi-lomo effect.

The underside of the Gladesville Bridge is amazing, and (I think it was Peter's idea) having Philo standing there was a great idea to show the relative size of the pylons.

Whilst Alex would love that machine in no. 3, it is a machine for carrying boats.
