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.

Finished the PP on my shots from yesterday's Newcastle photo outing. Here are a few more for your comments. In response to Wendell's comment in the other thread of pics from this group the first of these has had the "traditional" CP blue sky effect added in PP using the Nik Color Efex polarization filter. The other two have CP out of the camera (although all three were taken with the CP filter on the camera). The last pic is an alternate take to one in the first batch. I prefer this one since it doesn't have the cathedral obsured by the giant penis in the foreground (which is actually a lookout)

Peter - the cloud in the third one is awesome!
Just wondering what PP (if any) was done to the second image. The water looks kind of weird to me.

Thanks - the water looks kinda weird to me too - I may have been overzealous with the sharpening - I'll revisit this tonight.

Replaced the second image with one with no sharpening. In the first version the sharpening, coupled with jpeg resampling, made the waves look very odd - probably because the harbour was very choppy when I took the shot.

This new version is a decided improvement.

Edit: Plus one final image:

Thanks guys.

Meerkat - thank you also for pointing out my shoddy PP work. The newer version is MUCH better.
