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.

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.

Overcast skies
I'm happiest taking landscape shots and even happier when nature puts on blue skies and nice white fluffy clouds. Sadly that's not always the case - last weekend being a great example. I'm really unsure about these two shots (I reckon they need theose blue skies and white fluffy clouds
 ), but there is so much I like about the rest of the images to trash them. So I thought I'd share them here for critique.I've also done a black and white treatment on this first image (see HERE)  This one is best viewed at a larger size - just click the image for the larger version (320K file)  Peter

The first doesn't grab me it's certainly nice enough but i don't think you'd be ever satisfied with 'nice' I do like the second image eventhough i agree that a more appealing sky would have really added punch. Having said this i believe anyone of those homes across the Hunter would love to have a copy of the pano highlighting their home. It's a beautiful scene. I think experimenting with your painterly effect a la railway series might have value. A little rogue PP'ing may produce some interesting outcomes  cheers marco
Re: Overcast skies
Neither are great. The water mark is annoying as well. I think you are right about the blue sky. They both look pretty washed out and drab to me.
