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.

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.

Some from Bali

Had a great holiday in Bali- not as many photo ops as I'd hoped, but with a 2yo you cant expect to roam all over the country every day!

Heres a few nature type shots, the monkey is at a cliff temple (Ulu Watu), the tree is backdropped by a volcano steam not fog (Mt Batur), and the rice terraces are from somewhere just east of UBud.

Nice pictures, I like the 3rd one particularly. The curving terraces following the contours of the slope let my eyes wander all around the frame, they become sort of mezmerizing. Since the sky is so bright, I wonder if it would have been better to compose the photo a tad lower and leave out the sky altogether?

Thanks latch,

I did think of a pano crop losing the sky and some foreground- not sure. I had preconceived idea in my head (and from images on the net) of some rice terraces- these ones were nicely stepped but not as deep as I'd hoped. It was amazing even out there as soon as you stop people are running up to hassle you to buy their crap!
