A recent aquisition

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.

A recent aquisition

Postby Geoff on Mon Mar 22, 2010 10:40 pm

Well I recently upgraded my beloved VTR250 motorbike to this beast. A 2007 (with only a mere 4000km's on it when I bought it) Kawasaki ER6N (650cc...vrrrooom!). Since I bought it (December 29, 2009) I've racked up over 6,500kms on her..a little soul searching and my main form of transport of late. She's a beauty!!

These shots were taken not long before sunrise at North Head, Sydney. Critique welcomed:

A little too much fill in this one, I realise:

I disagree Geoff. #3 is by far the best shot and the fill has brought the green to life :cheers:

Ah, the quest for more power has started, very nice choice. I like #3 as well because the darker exposure has not only brought out the colour in the bike but the detail in the sky. Well done.

another vote for #3. i'm liking the contrast here. i'd actually have considered dropping another stop or 2 in the sky to bring out even more sky colour.
