Swimming in Winter

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.

Swimming in Winter. As usual click the image for the larger on black photograph. On a side note, not having a way to really calibrate my monitors, I have the feeling this image is not the same on the laptop as it is on the 22" I have plugged into it. On the 22" its rich in terms of colour and on the lappy its more washed out and pastel, if some one could tell me which it looks like that would be great.

It appears pastel and washed out, but I think it complements the image. Nigell, I find your images are beautifully subtle and very easy to view.

Nigell,

more washed out and pastel on my calibrated monitor here. As Patrick said, still works nicely.

Pastel and washed out in my uncalibrated work monitor. Fits the mood. I thought the photo was of the loch-ness monster before I clicked for the larger version.

The color difference is sometimes due to the SRGB, Adobe RGB colour profiles.
