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.

Hi Guys,

I've moved out of God's country and to the other side of the world where I'm currently enjoying a wet(ish) summer and great access to MotoGP and F1 events.

I'm struggling without a tripod over here at the moment. It's making the night stuff so much harder for me. But with my birthday coming up fingers crossed that i'll get lucky. Want a monopod as well, I'm off to the MotoGP in Brno in two weeks!

Here's a few I'd love some C&C on.

EDIT: What's with the 'click this you might be dumb' tag on the bottom? Thanks heaps imageshak!

Cheers

Ben

It would appear Ben, that God leaves all of his rubbish in a certain city :)

#2 for me, but I’m biased in the direction of God’s real country :wink: :D

the paris shot is great. there's something nice and soft about the colours. i'd like to see it straightened slightly, and the levels adjusted on the bright buildings in the background. but i feel like it captures the unique feel of the city nicely. :)
