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.

One of the better kept secrets up my way is Kooragang Wetlands 15 minutes from Newcastle CBD. It was a popular hunting spot with the local Worimi and Awabakal people that became known for it's red cedar and white ash when Europeans arrived in 1797. Unfortunately within 20 years the area was completely cleared and only a handful of the original trees remain. In 1984 the north eastern third was declared a Ramsar site ("wetland of international importance") and since then much work has been done on rehabilitating the area. Part of that is Ash Island (780 ha) which had been mainly used for dairy cattle, but is slowly being regenerated with native trees, shrubs and grasses. So enough with the history - here are some pics from my first visit to scope what's there photographically. To see an image larger, just click it.    And finally something that's NOT wanted on the island

I love the B&Ws. The thistle is nice too. Good contrast of colour.

The 3rd image really stands out to me. I love the window within window effect.
Can i ask if you have used a flash to light up the thistle?

a real shame, thats nice wood too...thanks for the history, would never had known otherwise, may well drop by on one of my trips up the coast. I really quite like the first image, really takes me there, that with the history lesson really conveys what the area looks like now.
