Lake Burley Griffin

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.

I love that last one! I only wish the curve o fteh lakes edge came around more (in the foreground) and intersected the frame on the same vertical line as the tower - that would really draw the eye in and send right to the tower.

Fog and minus 2


pfft, you locals would be kicking around in shorts in that barmy weather...

The second image is also very nice and with a bit of a crop and a bit of contrast it rings my bell, enough so I thought I might have a bash, let me know if you want it removed or have objections to ppl editing ur images.

Also you have some pretty nasty dust bunnies there - or at least thats what I assume they are...

:agree: with Gerry on the #4. I think you could try adding in fog to the foreground and made that foot path look more brownish for it to go with whole theme. The concrete path being really clear while the other scene is foggy makes it stick out too much.

Serene and mysterious, other than the memorial poking through the fog you could almost mistake it for somewhere mythical
