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.

Darb,
Whilst I like the night shots I think no.4 is a killer shot as well! I would like to see this photo enlarged, framed and on the wall. Nice work!

I think #4 is the best but I also like the simplicity of #5.

Both are good.

4 and 5 are definite winners. Tourist brochure stuff. Great stuff Darb.
1 and 2 don't do anything for me, sorry.

Darb,

I llike No.1 for the night sky. No. 4 is the best I think. All of them look great.

hey y'all ... cheers for the replies.

I agree the night shots arent too spectacular, but hey they're OK considering I was full of booze ;)

number 4 was shot RAW, reds and blues boosted, USM, then exported to jpeg. I havent got the NEF handy, but i cropped to 12x4 as felt the sky and excessive foreground were a bit wasteful.

what do you think of the high res version? i have a some reservations now that I look at it, but i wont say anything yet ... i also might grab the nef and have a better look.

Ive also found when i use the cropping tool in PS CS and set to 12 x 4 inches, that it actually increases the res to 3600 x whatever ... is there a way to use the cropping tool to force the crop to a certain aspect ratio, but not actually upsize or downsize the image?

ie, if youi just use the normal selection tool, then choose image crop, it simply crops off the pixels ... id like to do the same, and not upsize it, but want the tool to force my aspect ratio to 12 x 4 (3 x 1.) or even when doing a normal crop, to maintain 3:2.

Hi Birddog

I've been ill with a heart problem and have had to take time off work and uni. Just starting to get back to reading and participating in the forums. Hopefully I can start using my camera again soon.
