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.

These are a few more of the shots I took at Bondi's Festival of Winds. I was mainly trying to find colourful shots. Would appreicate critique and comment. Leek - some of the shots you took look to be almost identical as some of mine meaning we must have been within meters of each other during the day.

Nice shots Matt...
There are so many Poms in Bondi, you probably didn't stand out :lol:

You must have been wearing a hat tho' - I would have clocked your head from a fair distance...

Did you catch the Morris Dancers :? :?
I never thought that I'd see any of those outside of England...
Cheers, John

LOl,
yes I did catch the Morris Dancers. It immediately took me back to the Blackboys Inn. My dad flirted with Morris dancing but he was so rubbish he was only allowed to dance with the kids :lol: He was only in it for the free beer and women!!

The Sydney Morris dancing community generally have a shin-dig at Mrs. Macquaries Chair each May 1. (Or is it some other date - can't recall but a Pommie journo mate was prominent amongst them a while back.)

Matt

First off - you can say shit here! Hell you can even say fuck - just don't ever say mate in public (oops I mean k a r a o k e) :lol:

#6 is my fave - I like the mix of colours and the tonal range in the shot. Probably I'd clone out the flags in the bottom RHC

#1 comes next - Only (tiny) problem is viewing on the net I almost missed seeing why it was cropped this way (didn't see the strings :oops: ) but no problemo in print

#3 really annoys me because of what I can't see. I like the shot but feel cheated because I can't see the tail.

#2 is better in that we see the tail, but it seems a bit dark - perhaps a bity of contrast for more punch

#4 - clever and it works

#5 - like #4, but fails for me because there's a person on the steps - otherwise I'd like this better than #4

Nice colors. Was the vignetting done on purpose?
