Lonely tree

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.

The Gloucester area is a wonderful place, Barrington tops in particular is an excellent place for camping/hiking... :cheers:

I quite like your composition in this image, the sky reflection in the water has me confused though! :wink:

Anyone who comes from country or the northern tablelands will relate to the depth (maybe expanse would be a better word) of the clouds - takes me back to the old sunburnt days of the northern tablelands... :violin:

looking at the image again....if you could have got the complete tree reflection in the water that would have been nice - probably physically impossible and its easy to say that in hindsight. 8)

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

beautiful image there. The fact that only a part of the tree is reflected does play with my mind a bit, but it does not take away too much form the overall image.

Thanks for comments guys... I could have moved to the left but would have had to jump fence :mrgreen: I could have got away with it but there were some mean looking horses on the otherside who I thought was not the right crowd to mix with..

Now that I look at it, the reflection from the sky looks funny colour because the polariser may have not worked for the reflection...
