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.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

After our sunrise shoot at Glebe I headed into the city to meet some other friends shooting some Australia Day festivities in The Rocks. I'd parked in World Square and then came up into the main courtyard between all the skyscrapers - it was still early and there were almost no people about. I'm not sure why I looked up but I'm thankful I did; up in the sky above there were these hundreds of smaller puffs of clouds with blue inbetween and the clouds were moving rapidly through the sky. It looked perfect for that urban architecture long exposure I'd been meaning to do here for some time. I'd left some of my gear (including my tripod) in the car so I just manually prefocused the lens and a rough angle of view, fitted the screw in B+W 10 stop ND to the 16-35, and just sat the camera upside down on the pavement pointing up with the remote release attached and fired away - I got two attempts and just like that it clouded over with thick heavy foggy clouds and the moment was gone. Here we have 30 seconds @ f/11 at ISO 100 and 20mm... converted to monochrome of course...  Be interested to hear what others think on this one...

This is great....definitely a POTW contender! I love the sharpness/lines of the buildings and how that contrasts with the fluid/organic cloud stream.

Wow! For the first time in my life I have had an inverse vertigo attack. So, all I can say about this photo is fantasmagorical.

And I think that this is a great lesson for everyone here: don't simply look in the typical places for images. Look up, down, all around.

I like it. The cloud effect is very well done.

I think I would prefer to see this image with a clean, clear sky.
