Loving my wide angle

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.

I am finding that being able to shoot at 16mm is so much fun!

awesome shot !!!! I must admit, shooting extreme wides are pretty awesome. Love the cyanotype hue you have in this shot, has a calming mood to it =D

Nice leading lines, and as Marcus already noted, that blue hue is very calming

Nice lines (and I love the wides (and their distortion :)) as well) - it's perhaps a tad tight on the right maybe but I too like the shot. Looks a little HDR'd - is it?

Thanks for your feedback, it is a tad tight... that's as wide as my lens goes (16mm) on a full frame body, I need something wider (it's like a drug :twisted: ) and I love that people have to ask me if my shots are HDR, it means I am getting better at my PP. This one is HDR, the sky is from the normal exposure and masked in using layers in photoshop (blue skies are always a victim of HDR... they go all grey and yucky!) I am not a big fan of over cooked HDR, although, that is what I started with :shock:
