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.

Murray,

Some awesome images here; thanks for sharing.

For those of you who didn't get there - which is all of you (except Murray) you missed a great weekend.

Gail is a wonderful performer; a true blues performer. Love her work. Murray's images here truly capture the vibrancy of the performers, who in many cases know how to turn their amps up to 11.

And then crank it up a further notch or three.

Some of the other artists on tap included Kev Borich, and the Dave Tice Band. Dave's band was basically a potted history of Oz rock, to the point where at The Frog on the Friday night, where I was scheduled to introduce the band, I in fact ended up introducing Glenn A Baker, who in turn introduced the band.

I need to trawl through my images, and also publicly thank Murray for his generous lending to me his card reader when I found that mine was still in Bondi, and I didn't have any viable USB cables on hand either.
