Holiday Snaps #3 - #6

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.

Some more from the week at Merimbula.

(Edit - I have just realised these images are probably a bit too big. Sorry, it is late and I need to go to bed, so I can't do anything about it now. I have, however, had a stern word to myself, with an admonishment to avoid a repetition.)

Yep... they were a bit big, but I've got broadband so it didn't bother me too much... I like them all, but particularly like the last one... I find myself wondering what they were looking at... It might look good in B&W...

Nice shots Greg...
Cheers, John

Greg

I like the candid of the man & his son, but my fave is Wharf Fishing & I'd also like to see it in B & W. The post beteween the two people really aids the composition on this one.

Hope you relaxed on the holiday & didn't spend the whole time taking pics.

Great shots Greg,
I'd probably be inclined to clone out the distracting out of focus bit on the T-shirt in the second shot. BTW was this your first official admonishing job as a moderator? :lol:

Thanks for the comments...

phillip, I tried cloning out the OOF bit in #2 (it was a part of the railing), but I couldn't manage it with an acceptable outcome. Yes, first official admonishing task as a moderator, and may I just say - ouch. :)

I didn't spend the whole time taking photos stubbsy, actually I would have liked to take more. It was fun to have a bit of time available.
