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.

From up high in one of the highrise buildings, I took these shots thru the windows. Please excuse any reflections I didn't notice when taking the photo...

Great photos Dave! :)

I like the pano a lot, but the reflection in the bottom left is a bit distracting. Could try and PP it out a bit by selecting that are and tinker with levels to get rid of the white.

Oh I just noticed where the joins are too ;) The Art Centre, Fed Square, the theatre and some of the rail posts have ghost images. What program did you use for this?

thanks Piro.

I used Panorama Factory to stitch the pano together. I always knew that shooting this handheld, with lots of fine detail in the shot would not welcome a "seamless" pano.....but it's not too bad. At least I remembered to lock exposure prior to shooting these...something I have forgotten to do in the past :-)

Next time I might go with the tripod and try to mask out any possibility of reflections before shooting.

Hi Dave. Great shots. Interesting perspectives on our city that generally those of us that live here do not see. I especially like the 3rd pic.

My fav is also the 3rd pic. Makes me think I should take my D70 to work more often.

Nice pictures, my favourite are the number 1 and 2; there is potential for some awesome photos by framing reflections into the window as you did...
