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.

I am quiet annoyed as I past this well know Durras landmark many times but only managed to stop with the camera in horrible light and drizzle. However I tried to cover it up by going with a B&W which is far from my speciality. What do you think, any good ? Or how could I make it better ?

I hope I have the right image. The B/W treatment really suits the burn't out barn. The burnt out ruins of what once was is capture well.

What a great subject. Pity the sky's a bit blown out, but that's the weather. I think the black and white suits it, really like it.

What an amazing subject you've found. If anything, i would like to see a little less contrast to brighten the dark bits a bit. Great find.

Craig, you have to go back when the weather is better. I like this shot but I am also interested to see if the tin sheets are rusted in their colour..
If you shoot it from the front, does any light enter from the back or sides?
What about an inside shot with the light beams streaming in?

That's pretty good Craig. There is a lot more detail in the second image and i can even see right through the building :)

There are some unwanted tentants that you'd have to get to vacate first, there was aleast 6 cows hiding from the drizzle inside (one is visible in the second shot).

Greg does have all the lingo down pat! (Geoff how long till you've settled ony our new home?)
