For Stubbsy

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.

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.

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

John

I sure hope you managed to get some free samples as well :wink:

That first shot is a cracker - sharp, great colors and nice composition. #2 is only just behind

#3 is very appealing too but the fragment of window at the top bothers me

#4 - I like the composition, but feel the foreground is too dark compared to the sky - maybe a grad ND in PP would make this one more appealing

Think I'll have to get a nice red out of my cellar tonight to lift my spirits now. I think I have a 1990 John Riddoch which may have to suffice.

Thanks Peter. My wife and I recently had a week in Adelaide with old friends. Their home is on the hill immediately behind the winery and it dominates the view from their lounge room. Also spent a few days at their home on Kangaroo Island (it is 28 years since I last visited) and was staggered to find fifteen wineries there as well. Some nice whites and a very good Shiraz from a place called the Bay of Shoals Winery.

Great pix, John. Like Peter, I think the last is the weakest of the series, but that is only because the others are so good.

Did you go to the Magill Estate restaurant while you were there? It is simply fantastic.

Went there once on a golf trip to Adelaide (with seven other wine connoisseurs :wink:) - it was much better than the golf! :D

No Trevor I never got to eat in the restaurant unfortunately, next time maybe. I must admit I had almost forgotten what a lovely city Adelaide is (our kids did all of their schooling there) and how many fine suburban restaurants there are. I almost felt homesick. :wink:
