Make what you will of it.

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.

So tell me Matt, were you doing a self portrait in the last pic (which by the way is excellent).

My turn, my turn....I presume you were walking along Macquarie Street for that last shot? :biglaugh:

But nobody has, as yet, commented on Matt's new Raybans.

Odd that you've all commented on the last image when it's the first one that really intrugues me.

It must be beyond my comprehension......I am not seeing a story here...only the fact that people dislike those pastry rolls and throw them onto the roof of the shelter...

But Cameron...That's IT!
Who throws the rolls and why? Are the rolls really that bad that everybody throws them away? Are they laced with cyanide to kill the pigeons? And why do the rolls play havoc with the perspective of the image?
There is a story here....we just don't know what it is. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Matt

While you may be more interested in #1 I actually think there's a good story in #2 and it's that one which appeals to me. Aside from the very clever people who made a quite arresting image for the ad campaign there's an interesting subtext here because of the grid in front of the image. Makes me think of captive animals which in turn gives a completely new depth to the poster.
