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.

Looking back through my collection of D70 pics I came across this from last September, taken at Mt Tambourine in SEQld. I liked the bright colours against the blue sky. Kit lens @70mm 1/400 @ f/11, PP'd to increase saturation and unsharp mask.

Great photo Gordon and your title reminds me of my flower power days back in the 60’s right down to the embroidered denim jacket :lol:

Quite a nice shot, Gordon. great colors. :) The halo police will be after you though, for the sharpening halo around the guy's body and the dark edges of the 'chute. High contrast edges will give you those halos. The easiest way to avoid that is by duplicating the layer and applying differing levels of sharpness to both layers. Light levels of USM to the bottom layer and then heavier levels to the top layer, if needed. Then erase the halo areas in the top layer with a small brush size and merge the layers. That should give you good sharpness throughout the image, without halos. :?
