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.

Just some sunset photos from Jervis Bay from the past month. Second one is in black and white as the sunset was blocked by clouds but loved the cloud formation.

The first one's light doesn't seem that remarkable, the last two could have definitely used a more interesting sky, but the second one (B&W) is well done... I like the repetitive yet subtly different texture (and I'm a sucker for B&W).

Despite #1 being quite dark I don't mind it - there is a nice moodiness to it for me. The B&W OTOH is just a little too dark for my tastes despite the interesting subject matter.

Yeah mate the clouds stoped any colour from coming through in the first one so was pretty disappointed but just got what I could. With the last two there was a nice vivid sunset but then no clouds haha.

Yeah the bushes are dark as the ND grad covered them but it does work as you say to give it a more moody feel and the long exposure blurred the clouds to add to the glumness feel.

The B and W image is darker as I brought the contrast up to define the cloud formation more but as a consequence the foreground is a bit too dark even after using a 0.9 ND Grad.
