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.

I remember Galvans quite well, its a short walk off the road and a real great swimming hole, i did not swim there, but the petti-coat government did :twisted:

did you ditch the camera and go for paddle?

In terms o fthe image, it appears to be midday, not the best time for waterfall scene, I think in this case you might have better off looking at isolating one o fthe aspects of this composition and going with that. For example, I do recall there is a big Boab tree up on the top of the waterfall, maybe isolating that with the waterfall might have been good.

actually after looking at it again, its a quite nice scene, what about cropping away some of the right side to draw the eye to the tree reflection then up to the waterfall?

one of the better images i got from there was big goanna on a rock... :)

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

I would at least clone out the guy on the right up near the waterfall.

No strong focus point for this one. After looking at it for a while, that's all I can decide. HTH.
