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.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

G'day all,
Finally got my bum into gear and made it up to Hanging Rock... Haven't been there since I was a kid and I'm sure glad I went there today...
What a stunning location... Rattled off about 100 shots (some for blending as the light was very harsh). Slept in (DAMN!) so I didn't get up there until about 9'ish so the sun was already quite high and the shadows were mean buggers 
Still really enjoyed the day though, played for about 3-4 hours, what a wonderful location for a nice bush-walk...
Anyone interested in a mini-meet up there? I'd be in it  Sunset shots there would be wonderful...
Anyway, these are just the first few, PP was only a few minutes each and all with the wonderful Nikkor 12-24 (and CPL). Working on some pano's of 4-9 images 
I don't think I have a creative bone in my body so any critique or advice is eagerly soaked up...
Cheers.
Not sure about this one, tried merging but the shots were about 1.5 stops apart and you can tell by the foliage... I'll try merging three images and see how that goes...
 Aka Andrew

#1 - Great use of colour - the blue of the sky contrasts nicely with the green and brown foreground and the steps winding through the scene lead the eye well
#2 - Nicely brooding, almost evil - the pool of water looks like a giant eye
#3 - Not a big fan of this. Nothing strong to anchor the scene
#4 - Maybe it's time I went and saw a shrink. This I like also - I can see bodies in the rock formations
#5 - You're correct. This doesn't work

Thanks guys, I appreciate you taking the time to offer your advice and critique...
Yeah, not sure on a couple of 'em... I was just so buggered after a big day and wanted to share 'em... Lots of others but these caught my eye first... Was great fun scrambling over the rocks to get in these positions... Scared myself a couple of times , ahh well, all part of the fun eh?
Now to play with those pano's Might take a while though, one of them is about 9500 x 3300 after stitching, strewth that's over 31M pixels...
Cheers. Aka Andrew

Ooh, I love number 2. OK, so this might be a dumb question, but where exactly is Hanging Rock? We've all heard about it and I'm guessing it's in Vic!  Nikon D7000

It's at Mt Macedon about a 45min drive from Melbourne along the Calder Fwy.
