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.

This is where my daughter and I were when we should have been at the cemetery first taking some shots when there was still some light in the sky  We'd planned to come here first and take some shots at sunset and twilight of this church (which is on the corner of the main street of town where we were visiting and staying with the grandparents). I knew the sun was going to set behind the church so I was expecting to have to wait till it was twilight before I could add light to the front and still get colour in the sky. Earlier when it was still very light I started with the 10 Stop ND filter and then switched to my FaderND variable ND filter to get long exposures (from 1 to 4 minutes) and streaky cloud movement in the sky. In the end however we basically had to wait till near the end of twilight (8:45 to 9PM) before things got dark enough at ground level (ambient) but there was still quite a bit of colour (and some light in the upper) sky on a long (2 to 3 minutes) exposure (no ND required by this stage). I also didn't need to do any more light painting on the church for these shots since a number of very bright nearby streetlights had come on and lit the front and much of the side of the church in tungsten glow. First up a mono conversion  and then the colour version of the last shot of the day (at least at the church - we then decided to head off to the cemetery to try some umbrella lighting shots which I've already posted)  ... and a Happy Australia Day everyone...

Happy Australia Day to you too! I quite like both images. The B&W has more atmosphere - almost a sinester feel to it. It reminds me of that famous building in the Hammer House of Horror. - I like the colour contrast in the second. Yes, I think I prefer the first one.

Both versions of this image are great, but the mono definitely works better with the mood and tone that it adds.

Thanks guys  BTW: I know you can't really tell but these two images are different (not just b&w/colour - but different frames). I liked this particular colour version but for the mono I preferred at different colour starting point (mostly because it had more streaks in the sky) D600, D7000, Nikon/Sigma/Tamron Lenses, Nikon Flashes, Sirui/Manfrotto/Benro SticksRodney - My Photo BlogWant: Fast Wide (14|20|24)
