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.

A couple of weeks ago a friend and I set out on the 22km walk from Charlotes Pass to Mt Kosciusko and back.

Here are some of the images. Honest critique is most welcome.

They look great. I love the nice vivid blue from the altitude and the wispy clouds add to the pics appeal.

It would have been a nice walk. :)

Hi Woody, great shots. Done with a polariser or with PP afterwards? Love the saturated look and composition.

Woody.

Honest you'll always get from me :wink:

#1 - fantastic blue & gold. I'm guessing you bumped the saturation a bit, or maybe it's all just down to a CP. Whatever - it makes the shot.

#2 - the foreground rock is very dominant and doesn't lead me into the image. I'd crop it out completely so the water leads me into the image

#3 is a little busy for my tastes

#4 is the exact opposite - not much to look at in both subject & colours. I think bumping the saturation on this like shot #1 will make this one work.

Of the ones on SmugMug
#4 is great "the lonely hiker"
#6 - the twisted look to the landscape is a good capture
#10 - this is the only "rock shot" that works probably because the foreground isn't rocks!
#6 on page 2 another vibrant shot where the colours work well

#11 on p2 - good shot, but a little overexposed for my tastes.

The strange thing about all of these shots for me is that it doesn't look cold even though it must have been!

Thanks Guys.

Owen - I did have a Polariser on the lens but also a little bit of PP (well a lot on a couple).

Killa - Actually the walk sucked (but that's another story)

Peter - Thanks for all your comments, all taken onboard. It wasn't actually that cold. I just had a T-Shirt on from about 10am.

MHD - Ummm, OK :? :? :?

Darb - Thanks mate, checked out your site and you have some great images there.

Cheers,

W00DY

Woody, don't know if this counts as much of a critique, but when I opened this topic, my "turning-three-tomorrow" daughter went......


"Wow, that's pretty"......
