Poles Apart...

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.

Poles Apart...

Postby Remorhaz on Wed Apr 30, 2014 7:05 pm

Just back from two and a half weeks with the family holidaying in New York and Hawaii - figured I'd better post something from my travels

I'd seen a couple images of this location online with the Manhattan skyline at sunset with these fantastic poles out in the water providing this perfect foreground interest leading out to the city skyline. Ever since I knew I was heading to New York I knew I’d have to shoot here and capture it for myself - this one at 8:23PM (about 50 minutes after sunset)

Brilliant Rodney. I would hate to be choosing POTW next week. The standard of images submitted this past week has been world class and yours is no exception.

nice Rodney, how about a pano crop such that the row of poles in the left line up with the corner of the frame and clone out those ones at the bottom if the get in the way.

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

Could be done - tho I do like those two poles at the front (and composed specifically to include them). In hindsight I should have invested some time in doing a (couple) LE panos
