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.

Stubbsy,

I like these kinds of shots, the kind of things that most people would walk past without evening giving a seconds thought to - or even noticing in the first place. Nice work, but it would have been nice to see the ducks head, and the stick seems to be slightly out of focus, but that could just be me. :wink:

I've seen your portfolio and I like your contributions mate

Hi Peter

Looks like the group had a wonderful time at Lavender Bay, I always pass the place but never stopped to appreciate the inherent beauty of the area

I especially love your 3rd shot with the object in the water. The colour harmony in the riples and the stark object adds contrast to the composition. The image also looks like an expressionist painting.

EXCELLENT WORK!

Interesting subjects, flotsam and graffiti. Altough graffiti gets photographed often, flotsam and jetsam rarely get a second look. It's very courageous of you to think that far outside the square. :)

I do like the last image of the door but i feel that the grass detracts from the starkness of the wall and door. The graffiti adds a little bit of extra focus and the ruggedness of the door adds rustic apeal, which i like.

Good work Peter.
Steve.

You are right. I'm going to redo it with the grass cropped out.
