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.

One of the joys of being a salty old seadog, is witnessing some beautiful sunsets and sunrises in pristine, clear waters and fresh air.

Unfortunately this day was not one of the above. There was a large fire burning nicely on Bathurst Island and as a result the sunset became a feast to the eyes. Smoke makes sunsets even more colourful and here is the result.

This first shot has some unusual colours; the sky looks a bit purple and that gives great contrast with the yellowish clouds... Really nice and looks great in Pano, did you crop it or stitch it in PP?

About 10 images stitched in Panorama Factory. I played with the colour channels until i was happy with the contrast and colours. It just gives it a boost from the originals.

Chris, it's bloody hot here. A nice cold breeze would be most welcome. :)

Awesome Steve

Three great shots, with the third being just as tad in front for me - I like the darker colours - more moody somehow.
