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.

I darkened the buildings and lightened the foreground of this one to give it more of a creepy empty feel, like the buildings are watching you. The one bright light is like an eye. This was shot at iso 1600. Pretty good control of grain if you ask me. Handheld at 1/8.
This is another of an alley. I quite like it, although some may find it a bit boring. I had fun with the saturation sliders in BW. I always add a touch of color as I tend to like subtle sepia. Also at ISO 1600. I find it quite usable. hand held at 1/15.
Comments and critique are welcome.
I'm really turning into a black and white photographer. Not sure if that's a good thing or not, because when I see some people's color stuff I think that I maybe should follow suite, but I find it so seducing.

That's cool!
But I don't understand how you aren't getting noise at ISO1600. I ALWAYS get it! Even at ISO1000.

Minimizing noise is all about getting the correct exposure. It sort of depends also on how much PP you do, including brightening, which really brings out the noise. I didn't have to do a lot of changes with these, and processing in Raw helps as well I think. I couldn't convert to BW in jpeg as the results were unacceptable.
The noise is in this pic but you don't notice it too badly.
Thanks for the comments.

Dave - these are, again, superb - you should take a walk on the dark side more often  Chris
