Three Anzacs

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.

Finally have some free time :lol: and a backlog of work to process :cry:

Here are three different takes on the Anzac Bridge from the August AW 2x2 meet. To see any larger, just click the image. The first and last were taken with the 10.5 DX fisheye len.

These have the usual Stubbsy look but I prefer the last for it's composition. I think the BW conversion has isolated the curves making it stronger...

I agree with Suren. The graphic appearance is much more interesting plus the curves lead the eye(s) to the bridge.

:agree:

Possibly exaggerated by the use of the FE. Very nice.

The last image intrigues me...it would look brilliant printed very large. The composition is beautifully executed and though I normally eschew fish-eye lens distortion in this case it works in a sophisticated way. A fine image!

:agree:

almost like one of those illusion images with the footpath leading away in a distorted way, clever use of lines and curves Peter. :up:

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

Great shots there Peter, the 3rd really does it for me. Simply amazing how the fish has made those leading lines so much stronger.

Now that I have finally gotten my Tokina 10-17 you have provided me with more motivation to get out and about with it.
