Snooooopy!

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.

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.

After a few weeks of trawling through tutorials and videos on photoshop today I decided to jump in the deep end and spend the entire day working on one photo. Any comments are as always, more than welcome...

My first real effort at doing anything with any conviction in photoshop. This file was originally shot as a JPG as it was taken before I even knew what RAW was lol.

Thanks for the comments guys :)

Dave - Yeah, that was really my first attempt at using photoshop and i tried several different ways of doing the the things that I wanted to achieve some didn't work, and then some did... but yeah it took me all day, I think although now I know a little about it I could do the same thing in half the time next time for the same or if not a better result - depending on the image of course.
