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.

Geoff, I really like the first - not sure if it is that big, but the position with the guy on the right gives perspective as to size.

Nice stuff.
Regards, Patrick

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

Geoff, nice. The last one could do with a bit more contrast. He reminds me of someone, maybe Sir Robert Helpmann or an old Bob Carr. The first one could do with a bit of a crop to the right to remove that dude standing there. Still, it does add a kind of perspective to the size of the sculpture.

Did you know that Sydney has 300,000 more people than Los Angeles? There's no wonder it was crowded. A little bit of interesting culture is sure to attract a culture starved crowd of Sydneysiders.

Thanks for the comments guys, it sure was a beautiful day!

I was undecided about keeping the guy in the shot on the right (1st image) but as already suggested, I kept him there to keep a perspective.

It was great to get out and take some photos :)

I'm intrigued by the second one. The two blue rectangles that seem to reflect the lighting of the sky were these mirrors? I also see that one set of numbers (182) was upside down. What was the significance of this sculpture?

The two blue rectangles were indeed mirrors, and they were reflecting the blue sky.

No idea what it meant, we didn't get a programme. :)
