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.

Two more from the Melb meet

Here are two more pics from the Melb meet that I quite like. Some might think them too picture postcardish (sic.) The first is of one of the shelter sheds in the Botanic Gardens taken from across the lake, and the second is one of the pavillions (I forget which one) taken in the Queen Victoria gardens.
Your opinions appreciated.

Regards
Meicw

Number 2 great leave as is ........ 1 if you have more water in the shot would be good and more trees on the right, some cropping on the left of the building and put your building on the left third of shot ........bit more of an impact and location

Cheers

I don't understand what peoples problem is with images looking too "postcardish"...
Great shots Meicw, have you considered saturating the first image to emphasis the greens or reds?
Respect to those who click!

Nothing wrong with picture postcards :) If nobody took them, we wouldn't have postcards....

I like photo 2 but might have been better as a pano showing more of the path on the right to lead the eyes to the shelter.

Both these photos would look great though with a bit more saturation to give it an oomph :D

Hi Guys
I would have loved to be there on Sunday with all the Melbournites, draped in their Nikon splendour but prior arrangements kept me away.
However, I was in that part of the world on Saturday and managed to get a few snaps around the Shrine.

Hopefully next meet, I will be able to join you all in the fun.....

Good to see everyone out enjoying their cameras :-)
