Early in the morning

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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Here are a few images I took on our recent trip to Schoalhaven!!!
The first one was taken in the afternoon and the last two at about 6.00 am in the morning after my daughter kicked me out of bed :)

it's hard to shoot flying birds closeup but you got it in frame so fine work there
it would be better if you increased the curves so the while image is white then increase the shados just a tad for more definition and contrast

the bird on the beach has great depth of field and you have handled that very well

The second image is lovely. The colour sets a quite, solemn mood and the pose of the seagull adds to the atmosphere.

Great place the Shoalhaven innit? Would you like to buy a nice 3br, double brick house in North Nowra?

haha :rotfl2:

Thats quite a tidy BIF image, my only comment would be the sharpness, however if one clicks on the image it definitely looks sharper...

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