Old vs New

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.

A couple more images of a grand old lady. Comments appreciated.

First one is a comparison of the old and the new:

Second one is how she may have looked in her heyday:

Gee - she's a big muther.... Much bigger than the tugs you see today. She dwarfs that Cat...

The second pic is very convincing, but you might want to clone out the guy thats using a mobile phone on the deck to make it 100% authentic...

Not too sure about the photo corners... Too many unhappy memories of sticking photos in albums with them when I was small... bloody fiddley things...

Some nice shots...
Cheers, John

#2 looks like it could be from the State Library. I like it a lot. :D
And in #1, you really get an idea of the size and grunt of the "Forceful" - those CityCats aren't small vessels.

Thank you all for the positive comments. Leek - don't be daft man, that's not a mobile phone he's holding - it's a sextant! (I'm sure Rear Admiral KillerKoala can verify..) Sorry for bringing back painful memories with photo corners!

I think in these photos, particularly the first one, it's obvious why she's named "Forceful". A strong name for a sturdy craft.
