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.

Yeah, I really like the second too. The lighting on the wall is what does it for me.

Cheers,
Owen.

Nice one Jonesy, both work well and the exposures are on the money. You might like to try shooting the second one earlier in the night to capture some blue in the sky rather than just black (typically you only have around 45 mins to an hour in which you can do this, but IMO it's worth it). :)

Thanks :)

Thanks again everyone

MCWB - I shot them at about 9pm... so it was well and truely dark but I know what you mean and I am making sure I am out just after dusk/dark so that there is still some colour in the sky

Kris - I am at work... but I think it is called 'John Handy', really sorry but cant remember where I picked it up (no doubt a free site or disk)...
