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.

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.

Thanks Andrew. The first one really grabs me that way too and is probably my fave.

One thing I didn't mention is that the flowers in the water were placed at the memorial this weekend for two important reasons:

1/ In memory of 30 Years since The Fall of South Vietnam to the Communist North - "30 Years after"

2/ 50th Anniversary of formation of The South Vietnamese Air Force on 1/7/55.

Stubbsy, Nice pics. I like the first one also. As Andrew said, the 2 statues seem alive, and are watching over the pool.

I'm sure Melbourne also has one of our Aus-Viet Memorial, I haven't been down there but been told it's great statues and spirits.
