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.

#1 and #4 are my favourites too... very nice photos.

The moon one could use a bit more brightness and contrast maybe.

Just had another look through my pics from Lake Eyre and found 3 more I thought were worthy of a look. Enjoy

Really like the Moonrise :)

Certainly a different world out there isn't it - Would have loved to have seen some of the water while we were there but weren't able to get up far enough in the time we had available. Can only guess what it would have been like, and your pics help that a bit :)

Andrew,

The moonrise is the best of these.

The fourth image in your first post ... The composition leaves me uninspred, from what should be a great image. You have split the image in half with your composition, and thus there is no real point of interest here: the sun is dead centre, and the sky and ground both compete for interest.

I think this image would have benefited from having been shot with more foreground as the dominant element, pushing the sun and sky up further into the top half of the image.

[housekeeping issue]Could you please take a couple of moments to review the FAQ and what it says about signatures? I would not like it if some great ugly site admin got on your case because of a non-compliant signature block. Thanx[/housekeeping issue]

Following a request via PM here is the route I planned out before we left. I didnt save the actual GPS track log as it was a pretty straight-forward route. Hope this helps anyone planning to head up that way and others to visualise where my pics were taken.
