First photo post

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.

Hi Jeff. I can only find 2 problems with your pic:

1. You linked to the thumbnail instead of the full size image.

2. It's a Holden :lol:

Is this what you wanted to show us all:

Jeff

Did you read the post an image thread here? If not it's worthwhile that you do. If you did and it confused you please tell me and I'll update it to make it clearer.

So far as the pic is concerned I don't care if it's a Holden or a Ford (or even a Volvo), I just care about the pic. This is a good capture.

I only see one problem with this post, Jeff, and it's a minor one:

You didn't post in the right category!

We have an Image Reviews and Critiques section for it...

But I'll just go ahead and move it for you... :)

Nice pic, by the way. :)

Keep clicking Jeff. Pixspot has 3 default image sizes:

1. Thumbnail. The first one you see and the one you originally linked to.

2. Normal size. What you have linked to with your second image.

3. Full size. Click on normal and you will get full size. Right click on this, scroll down to properties, click on that and copy and paste the link from the window that appears.
