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.

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.

Met up with BobG and Slider last night to grab a couple of shots of the moonrise.

One before moonrise.

I like them all, but I prefer that
watery moon on the 3rd.

Hi Craig - #2 - however it feels a little cramped at the bottom and I think I would have liked to have seen a little more of the reflection - a lower perspective perhaps to bring the wreck and moon/horizon closer together?

Don't think I could have said any better. The image has a lovely simplicity and linearity that makes it easy to appreciate.

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

I'm pretty sure those horizons are 0.000000000000001 degrees off level. :biglaugh:

Nice shots, btw - my favourite is the first.

Cheers

last one for the win.

this thing with mooning, is that when its real like this it usually looks over cooked. I would even consider just enlarging the moon (locally) in the last one just a fraction...

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

I have been thinking about cutting in a moon with features when I get time and if conditions are right at the next full moon I will go back and try a couple of different compositions.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
