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.

damn I find my self saying this alot lately, I must be obsessed! pano crop it i say, The cliff/mountains on the right create a very nice lead into the image and the subject, the castle! A pano would increase this imo.

I could not resist but have a crack myself, I figure I ain't ever gonna get over to see it myself :rotfl2:

Let me know if you want it removed!

The pano does look better.
Thanks for the example! :D

Better put something in my signature about image editing approval.

Well, it looks like you had a wonderful time Wink. Just out of curiosity, what was your itinerary? How long were you away for?

We moved around pretty quickly...

We landed in Paris 29th March.
Amsterdam 2nd April.
Berlin 5th April.
Munich 8th April.
Prague 11th April.
Budapest 14th April.
Vienna 17th April.
Venice 20th April.
Barcelona 23rd April.
Paris 26th April.
Few out of Paris for home 28th April.

It was months of planning and research, but it all paid off and went perfectly. :D
(The volcano dramas caused i few nervous moments thoughh). :lol:

fyi, i forgot, the edits I did were basically crop, tonal contrast, global contrast and d-lighting.

I reckon this is one image you should definitely revisit. with a small amount of work it could well be a stunner.

The cropped castle is brilliant!

What a place to live. I suppose you could see the sunrise AND sunset from home... :roll:

Ludwig certainly had a nice block. It's a shame he didn't get to enjoy it longer. His parents castle is down the hill from this one.

There's snow on the hill behind me from where i took the photo.

They're all good, the castle is wonderful. Sounds like you had fun?

We had a lot of fun. Wouldn't change a thing about the trip.
The only negative experience i had was 3 people trying to pick my pocket in Barcelona. That's where the R-Strap came in handy. I just let my camera down by my side so i had 2 arms to 'tell' these people i didn't want any of what they were 'selling'. :twisted:
