Straight from a dream...

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.

I like this one. Not sure why but I do.

Are they setting up for a wedding

Strangely, yes, they are setting up for a wedding...people walking by kept asking me what time the wedding started...I was like "uh no clue" -- Then the limo pulled up and I guess things got under way.

That's the park I go to all the time -- winter, spring, fall, and summer...during the summer, mostly, it is overrun by people ... that's why I like winter the best, I'm the only one there -- well, me and the ducks.

I like what you've done with the sky and the way it contrasts with the landscape. It's kind of like something foreboding is about to happen (maybe it is).

My only criticim (that you can fix easily if you want to) is that the horizon is a bit off horizontal.

You have achieved some intense tonal exploration there however, I find the angled horizon quite distracting.

Deapee - I too like this shot for its serenity - the horizon is fine as the buildings verticals are also fine. :D

Thanks folks, for the comments...much appreciated.

That's actually a road along there. I guess I *could* straighten the horizon, but then the gazebo would be at an angle heh -- too bad God didn't make all hills perfectly horizontal ;)

Thanks again.

I love everything about it, i think the road running along the hill is fine as the gazebo colums are vertical and i also like the effect you have achieved.

Great job
