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.

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 was on my way home from work today, and the sky looked beautiful.

Thought I'd try shooting a sunset-sort-of-shot:

It's shot hand-held so I took like 20 exposures (thank god, becuase only 2 didn't have horrible movement)

Hi Rich

I do like this shot even though it has telegraph poles and wires in the shot.

It does look very sharp, so well done on the hand held.

I did take your shot and put a contrast mask on it and the results are quite pleasing.

I was going to say that the colours in the original looked a little washed out.

I like the telegraph wires in this shot - adds to the sort of industrial/structural feel for me. Great sunset, and I think the contrast filter is an improvement which makes the colours stand out, although the settings might need tweaking as it seems to have introduced some halos around the main tank.
