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.

Silverton school at dusk. It was built in 1888 and closed in 1970. Now an education museum.

love those tones in the sky, I would liek to see more of that at teh expense of a smaller portrail of the building.

The blown yellow in the second is a instant turn off for me - its obviously a difficult scene to expose for given teh high dynamic range, however possibly sacrificing some detail in the building for more colour in the sunset may have helped it in my mind.

I like the tree and half expected more of a pano style with extra on both side, nonetheless, a nice classic country landscape. I particulary like the straight on view to teh nest in the tree...nice one!

Agree about the sky. I had to isolate as to not include a shed and modern fence immediately to the left and right of frame.

#2 isn't really salvageable to a great extent but was worth having a go. That trip showed me the mistake of not taking remote flashes for shots such as this and next time i'll not leave home without them.

The tree is actually a ' Silvertonia Birdnestus Robusta' and native to the Broken Hill region. Honest! :wink:
