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.

Cotter River
On the way back from a bit of location searching for this weekend's Rally of Canberra, I was driving over Cotter River Bridge and saw what could be a potentially good shot.
Ideas? Post Processing Suggestions? Opinions? I was sort of intrigued by the rather stormy looking clouds hovering above the parched river bed 
I'm fairly happy with it, and prefer the B&W over the original colour shot here: http://www.pixspot.com/albums/userpics/DSC_1732_bord.jpg
It's a bit soft on my screen, but that could be the jpeg conversion.
I'm not too big on the greyscale photo as the levels of contrast don't create a big enough impact, especially when the clouds are supposed to give the impression of impending doom (sort of  ) versus the serenity of the river and environment.
Pretty nice shot of a lovely scene, Daniel.
 I like the B&W, but it looks a notch dark and perhaps insufficient contrast, on my screen.my gallery of so-so photos

Obviously a beautiful spot but it is a tad dark and in need of contrast - but keep on posting

Thanks for the feedback
PiroStitch: Yeh, the image is definitely softer after a resize and jpeg conversion. Tried to get it a bit sharper, but couldn't get much of an improvement 
KerryPierce & sirhc55: I was initially concerned about that too - I *really* should calibrate my screen correctly. I've added a bit of contrast/brightness, however it was really easy to blow out the shadows/highlights. I also should learn how to use Photoshop at a higher level 
changed image: 
Again, thanks for the useful comments.
