Traveling

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.

Ever looked up in the sky and wondered where all those people were going? Who is on holidays, who is going home for a funeral, a birth, a wedding?

Yes, I've definitely done that before... I've also done the same thing from the plane - looked down and wondered what it must be like down there, wherever it may be...

Interesting shot - the metal structure makes a good frame and adds to the overall picture (a straight shot of the jet trail against the sky might've been a bit boring). If I was to be critical, I'd say the colour of the sky seems a bit too cyan coloured / not totally natural. Did you increase the saturation on this shot?

Cheers,

Stephen

No for this one I did not (as against the one in my other thread)
It was a brilliant blue day today in Canberra so that sky is not far from the truth...
Yes it is a bit to cyan... it actually was a darker colour..

And yes, it was the frame that made me take the pic, as the upper atmosphere was so cold today (as was it down at ground, 5.5c at 8am!) all the jets were leaving brilliant contrails...

Fair enough - I know you can get some interesting colours in the sky at different times of the year and with different temperatures (not to mention with a polariser).

Man, I could've done with some of that cold weather you're having - I was out playing hockey today and it was around 35 degrees with high humidity... I almost died... :shock:

Cheers,

Stephen

Well composed shot MHD but I think you are wrong about being a plane, it looks like a cruise missile to me :roll:

I agree with your thoughts, but I even do it with people I see in the street. I wonder where they are going, where they have been, if they are happy or sad etc., a fascinating mind though process

Do you ever wonder if other people wonder about the same sorts of things that you wonder about? :P

Today was a nice day for philosophy..

Today was one of those days I was very happy so many people have a low opinion of Canberra :D
