An arrangement of sorts

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.

:agree: #2.
It allows for the wheelbarrow to roll forward.

The 1st image seems cramped, because you would have to drag it round to make it go anywhere ...

At least I know what i think, but the words are not making sense like that :?

Matt,

Nicely spotted. Ok, I know the wheelbarrow is isn't spotted, but you know what I mean.

And great use of the colours in the barrow too. That's what makes these images for me.

You could crop the first one square, leaving the wheelbarrow out of the image completely. :)

I prefer the first one. It just looks right to me ... ready to tip the barrow over to the left.

No. 2 for me. Great example of thinking outside the box.

#1 for me. It is balanced by the wheel barrow on the right and the patch of smooth concrete to the left. Makes it look like the job was done and the barrow just left to rust.

I prefer number 2 for the same reasons mentioned above. It just looks like something can happen from there.

#1 for me, but I would have liked the patch to be complete. It looks like it's leaking out of the photo
