What the.....

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.

I know it's a standard subject, but I was working and the client wanted the iconic shot. I used my 50mm lens. I must say that I only took the one shot, not really thinking too much about it. But the next day when I was processing I was very impressed with the quality of this little lens. Also very happy with the capture. What do you think?

When I was checking up on the quality of the shot I noticed the following.

Is it really true? Have they set up shop in the Opera House? Please tell me it's not true. It must be a reflection from somewhere, but I have no idea where.

I've got a camera, it's black. I've got some lens, they are black as well.

I have no idea. I don't live in Sydney. However, I like your shot.

Clearly, these are preparations for the Sydney McSymphony Orchestra's next performance of Cook's Burgermeister.

Its been quite a while since I went there, but I seem to recall there are a pair of brass semicircular arches at the top of the stairs. With foreshortening because of your angle...
