Sow and piglets

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.

Sometimes known as the Apostles...

I've never seen it referred to in this manner. But for a single handed snap this is great...cant wait to see how it goes when you revisit

Its a very tidy shot Mj and one that I think is worth pursuing further processing to remove those telltale signs of the window. I think a multitude of selective masks is gonna be required to help it out.

Great POV too...damn helicopters..

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

Thats really very nice and a different view. Agree with gerry but you probably only have to deal with the ones over the water - most of the ones over the land look like a bit like natural variation in light (sun through clouds, etc).

I've a number but none strike me as that remarkable... nice to get a view from up high though.
If the weather had provided some interesting light or I managed to capture a particularly spectacular wave crash that would have made my day.

Ozi... before the '12' Apostles were renamed in 1922 they were known as the 'Sow and the Piglets'.

The government of the day decided that '12 Apostles' would achieve a better tourism outcome (even though there weren't 12 of them to look at !!!). I guess the '8 Apostles' wouldn't have quite the same ring.
