Sunrise, Lake Burley Griffen

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.

In a word - spectacular.

Although I don't think the black frame helps the presentation of it.

Tony, that has to one of the best images i have seen from the cold capital! :up: I love the symmetry in the image and would think about cropping just a slice off the top to get that horizon in the middle.

Just thought it needed something.


nope, this can hold its own easily!

I don't think that it needs anything, but what you were doing with the frame is sort of what might help, but in fact I think it needs a but of nudging in the opposite direction.

Throw this into even more of a pano mode. Try cropping at the bottom, from a little bit above where the colour actually starts. At the top, crop about half of the dark area out of the image. See where that leads you.
