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.

Classic sunset shots there! I would consider cropping to a pano style to remove unecessary water etc... :up: :up:

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

I like the second last shot. Nice.

Nothing like the pollution to make a nice sunset. My wife was there this time last year, did a daytime cruise, you could see F/A in her images. For a heritage listed area, they sure don't take care of it. :(

Hi
Beautiful shots
Just on the 2nd one if you could photoshop the guy standing up in the left boat it would be a killer image
He takes away from the serenity which is echoed by the shillouette of the girl in the classic vietnamese hat looking endlessly into the view

Love the third photo. I remember when I was there 14 years ago we still had to catch a ferry over to get to the town. I think a lot has changed since then. Do you have any photos of the town?

nicely done !
perhaps try 1 & 2 as panos as the elongated shape really emphasises the expanse , #3 is just captivating the way it is perfectly framed and exposed for silouette, #4 try pano just too much blak space for me and #4 doesnt have enough HDR to show the forground and the details just isn't as good as the others
Nice work

No. 3 is the one for me. It reminds me of when I was there early this year although I had to do my own paddling.

I also agree with Alan, the place is pretty dirty for a heritage area.

Also when I was there it was shrouded in heavy fog.
