The lights of Hornibrook...

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.

The wobbly old undulating Houghton Highway, great shot here, like the colours of the traffic lights, spent 1997-2001 at Redcliffe and know this bridge very well.

Shame about the artefacts (first thing that caught my eye in the shot)

But i do enjoy this image. Like Kerry - I also like the fisherman on the walkway.

I love the colours too. I find the image a little out of balance with so much going on in the left side it detracts from the overall image. Just my thoughts

At first glance, I didn't like this pic that much. But on subsequent and more detailed examination it certainly grew on me.

The bridges and lights leads your eye into the vanishing point which is towards the middle of the pic and the reflections nicely divide the image into half.

This division depicts the battle of having a relaxing time by the sea (RHS) with the busy city, rat race life (LHS) with the bright and busy lights. :)

Top pic. It's much like last week's POTW ;)

I love it Mark. Colour composition viewpoint. Thumbs up.
Bit political at the moment too, with all the hoohah about pulling it down.
