Where are Australia's Batsmen?

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.

Where are Australia's Batsmen?

Hi,

thought it would get your interest :). Instead of yet another Stockton beach Subject line, I thought I would name it a bit different.

This one tells the story of the Ashes. Their best batsmen are actually locked up in Tin City :lol:

Image

In the middle of nowhere

Image

They tried sending out messages
Image

They tried running away
Image

But, never with much luck :oops: :oops:

Image

Click on #1-4-5 for a larger image. The top 4 were taken with 50mm/1.4 and the last one with kit lens, 18-70mm

Hope you enjoy them, comments always welcomed,

Cheers,

Radar

Radar,

#3 has a big two thumbs up mate! Excellent shot. Perhaps could do with a little more contrast? Nice shots

#3 is excellent. Message in a bottle? :)

Hmmm....which kind of could make a good setup scene. Clear bottle (maybe weathered), caligraphied note, low level o camera angle on a beach, make sure the glass is well secured in the sand, with the water coming up close to the bottle. Maybe use a variety of lense (wide angle could be good), dusk lighting, palm trees and have a slow shutter speed to capture the silky effect of the ocean.

Tah Radar for the idea

Andre

Love #2 and #3 - the last one looks a little dark.

In the bottle one, maybe next time get back a little from the bottle as the tight perspective in this shot makes the bottle seem enormous. That said - I wish I'd have thought of doing a shot as cool as this :cry:

I like them all. I like the last one in that it looks a bit like an oil painting. Well done and thanks for the ideas.

They are all excellent shots Andre, but the bottle shot is really great...

I can't wait to visit that area...
Cheers, John
