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

As posted in the travel thread, we arrived home yesterday from an 8 day outback run. A photographers paradise in my book, limited only by time, weather and imagination. A few shots from those edited thus far. 19th century monument in Louth  Darling River just before dusk at Horse & Carriage camp area, 50K north of Wilcannia  Was out of bed an hour before sunrise to catch a sunrise over Lake Mungo, but it was heavily clouded so I returned to the camp area.  While boiling the billy the clouds cleared enough to put on a show, so I grabbed to gear & managed to get a few shots over the campground before it beat me again.  The overcast weather while at Mungo meant opportunity wasn't great, but the sun managed to cooperate intermittently  Last edited by norwest on Fri Jul 31, 2009 11:57 am, edited 5 times in total.

My fav is the last one with fore ground and background interest with warm colors and lines...
The second could be improved with a little more shadow detail and perhaps an IR conversion or BW
The third has great colours but the foreground and middle ground needs to be stronger..

Thanks for the comments, surenj. I adjusted the third shot a little. The shot below is a variation of the second taken 10 mins later with a longer exposure.

first and last images would be my picks, the first image has quite a nice composition, I think a HDR image here would really sing, especially with that sun placement! (even with a single raw file you can get quite a decent HDR out)
The last image looks like there is some nice tones and colour, however a pano style shot to encompass more of the landscape might have helped, I find myself wanting to know whats on both sides of the frame!

Thanks Gerry. Not a pano, but a wider shot and different composition.  Another wide shot with the Lake plains in the background.  Looking back to the 'Wall" on the horizon while returning back to the campground. Spotted the colour in the rear view mirror and as it was about to disappear quickly I didn't have time to set up, so I had to shoot hand held @ ISO400 1/12th sec @ F16. Without IS i would have lost it, though still surprised it handled it so well.
