Yesterday

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.

Yesterday I posted an image in portrait mode, which attracted (correctly) some criticism mainly because of the extreme range of tones in the image.

I have now reworked it and present it for critique this time cropped and in landscape mode.

Very nice. Very nice indeed. A beautiful image that conveys a sense of mystery due to the fog.

Isn't it treason for an Englishman to admit there's a bit of French master in him?!!! Don't they send you to the Tower for that?? :lol:

Lovely pic John - you really have a knack of capturing the beautiful way of life that surrounds you up there.

WOW!!! That was worth persevering with...

Oh and I hope you didn't interpret my comments / suggestions yesterday as critical... :oops:
I could just see the potential of the shot and was trying to solve what I saw as a technical problem... No offence intended...

Frame it and sell it John... Seriously...
Cheers, John

I had to come back again. Stubbsy this is a friggin good shot. Chris hit the nail, It has a very mysterious feel and yet it is a killer photo. Old world yes it does have that feel. The more you study the this image the more you appreciate it. Moody, Mysterious, Mellow.
WOW!
Jethro

Awesome, love it it was well worth the effort of sticking this this shot.
I find it a lot more mysterious without that sun in it. Great work!!!
