The Dance of Flight

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.

That's an image that would be fabulous if it were made into a very, very large print. Could decorate one wall of an upmarket seafood restaurant. Not sure about the text over the image though. It's a bit distracting. You might think about shrinking it or putting a white canvas around the pic and placing the text on that.

G'day, Just thought, if you move the signature down off the print in a border area, would you re-frame or crop the new image because I'm wondering of the formation of the birds makes the signature one of the compositional elements or subjects the photo is composed of... Does that make sense to anyone else :oops:

Maybe that's why it would look so good as a large mural size print in a commercial area...

Cheers,

Sorry to have to say this but the wording destroys the image for me. As a graphic designer, and having a great image, the best possible way to put a name to this pic is to frame it and have the wording below the pic but within the frame.

The other recourse is to make the lettering very much smaller so that the eye does not constantly go to the wording.
