Old junk

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.

Well, perhaps not so old.

Very nice. If you're into masking in Photoshop, I wonder whether it might be improved by having the background a bit more out of focus.

What a superb photograph! High technical quality and brilliantly handled subject matter. This image just jumped off my monitor and into my heart. This is why we do this stuff! Oh...and what a great example of the power of colour! Get this into a competition. Yellow Pages Cover competition for a start.

Sensational, the junk really pops. Agree that a slightly blurred b/g could improve.

The lighting on those sails are to die for.

really does jump out at you doesn't it !! I actually like the background that sharp, sort of juxtaposition of (sort of) old and new, but I would think of more of a square crop and crop out the high rise building with the yellow sign, really nice shot!!
1 shot out of focus is a mistake, 10 shots out of focus is an experiment,
100 shots out of focus is a style!, anonymous.

Awesome Trevor. Probably the finest image I've seen from you and you've posted some beauties.

Thanks for the critiques.

We were really lucky with the weather in HK. Only one humid and hazy day, the rest were beautiful.

This image was taken just on dusk. The remaining daylight is coming from the right rear of the photo - you can see some of it reflected in the buildings and the neon signs are just lighting up. It's that rear lighting that has illuminated the sails so wonderfully.

We took a trip around the harbour on this boat. You can relax with a cool beverage whilst checking out the superb harbour.

+1

the only thing I could suggest is a bit more space on the right side, but hey its splitting hairs.
