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.

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.

I just love this image. I spent a lot of time just looking at all the acitivity going on, the castle on the hill, the tall ship in the harbour in the distance, the sunset etc...

Great photo. i really enjoyed looking at this one, expecially as i have been there, but had forgotten how it looked. Now you have jogged my memory.

Thank you Kipper.

Yep, I agree with Steve.
Although I would try selecting the sky and adjusting the levels, it may give the sunset a bit more impact.

Great image. I love the way that the pier leads the eye into the photo, with the subdued sunset reflected in the water to balance that out.

While I think it might be an interesting exercise to increase the intensity of the sunset, I suspect it might spoil the subdued balance that you have at this time.

Well done.

Yeah, I don't think I have my PC setup correctly as I went through a full reinstalled so things are a bit out of whack regarding color setups.

Thanks for the great feedback. I was quite lucky because I had 2 shots both landscape and pretty much the same shot slightly rotated horizontally by 15. I love the one with the lamp post but felt the orange/pink sky didn't have as much impact because it was on the right side. Then I found the other shot that didn't have the lamp post but had the sky where I liked it. Then the alarm bells went off and I dumped them into Pano Factory and combined into 1 shot.

Ps. Killa, I have one of the tallship :)

Captain James Cook sailed a coal-carrier as an apprentice out of Whitby before he joined the Royal Navy. He would have passed by that spot many times on his way out to London. A lot of the buildings in that photo (and in Whitby) would have been there then.

I love that one too, Kipper. One sweet shot! That's one that I'd definitely frame and hang! Nice work. :wink:

Tried applying a Velvia action to it to bring out the colors. Increased contrast by 10, and brightness by about -5 to -10.
