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.

Kerrie

wow that 2nd one is just surreal, is that a conventional shot or was it manipulated digitially?

What exactly is the scene in the second image looks like a calm lake

I do like moon shots!

Are these cropped at all or full frame?

Nice shots!

Wendell as far as I know its using a PS plugin, I forget it's name, possible Flood ? Where you can introduce water, ripples, and reflections into you photos. I've seen it, but haven't used it. Moon shots like these just build my lens lust more. Great work Kerry.

Thanks all, for the kind comments. :D

Wendell: The 2nd shot was made with a PS filter called Flood from Flaming Pear.

hARDWARE: These are cropped, umm, a little more than a third, IIRC, not quite half... dunno, can't remember now.... :(

Bob: Sorry about the lens lust thing, but this is a pretty cool lens, especially considering the price.

Mic: I'm surprised you haven't flooded a bunch of shots already. You can get a 30 day free trial... :twisted:
