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 stolen moment captured on Sydney Harbour - taken with an unusual lens for street photography - the Tamron 90mm macro shot wide open - but it was the lens I had on the camera at the time :)

suren it. or reprocess it. The halos and blotchy lighting is way to detracting and does not compliment the scene. Maybe just a straight BW conversion and crop to pano, this would accentuate the couple and fort dension too.

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

x2, it looks a bit weird with that bright spot around them. a very nice image otherwise.

As mentioned there appears to be quite a bit of uneven PP here with halos around the shrubs, a fairly light foreground yet dark foreboding skies.
The light around the couple is IMHO a necessary vehicle to spotlight the subject and can be convincing as the light to the right of them suggests a sunrise or set... but the rest of the lighting and exposure seems wrong.
I think there are promising elements to the composition but I'm not sure the other aspects are recoverable.
Photography is not a crime, but perhaps my abuse of artistic license is?

Cheers guys for the great feedback - appreciated - here's a different frame which has just had a more straight monochrome conversion (no HDR, etc like the first)
