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.

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.

18mm, F13, 1/50, ISO200

This panorama was taken the other night from Telstra Tower at sunset, looking the "other" way. Comments welcome. :D

What do people think of the railing? Does it work or not? I feel that it leads into the image, but I can also see that it could detract from the image?

Thanks Tristan

I like the railling, but the middle of the horizon dips down a bit - as in it curves down slightly.

Time for me to fulfill my newbieness: Is this going to be a problem in stitching, or because of the lense?

I did notice it, but TBH I have no idea what causes it.

Fault Line? :D

G'day Tristan,
Really works for me, love the mood from the colour and lighting, the rails add interest for me but do seem to exagerate the dip in the horizon. Seems well stitched, I assume you could straighten the horizon if you wanted in PP... Being picky, wonder how a little more highlights in the foreground (in PP level sort of stuff) might look.

It's always interesting to sometimes look "the other way" huh... I must admit if I'm out shooting a landscape or something at sunset I always have a good gander around...

Very nice, worked for me :)

Damn! Hayden was just bowled! Back to the cricket!
