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.

And finally some different shots from London.

Lunchtime in the city

Some wildlife in St. James's Park.

More than a few umbrellas

Disrespecting royalty, in front of St. Paul's Cathedral

I've got shots of the changing of the guards, Big Ben, the London Eye, etc. But everyone has seen those before.

I was wandering through the back streets and came across:

Apparently it's outside Channel 4. :shock: It was certainly a surprise!
I'm guessing it's a temporary art installation, but it was very impressive.

Great images, each with its own message.
The glory and vanity of rulers now serving
as a toilet for pigeons. The grace and
simple needs of a squarrel in a park. A reminder
that you are slowing down and need to catch up
with your pints. The ever presence of the English
weather. All good captures!

Thank you. You have given these more thought than I believe I did when taking them. :)

I think you might appreciate this one as well.

Indeed! It is quite a humorous photograph. “Go forth and construct” and
quite clever to include the offending distraction as part of the picture.
