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.

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.

Great Shot, below-0
Now Matt k, I challenge you to put your theory of neat and in the middle to the test in this photo. The opera house is in the middle but my eye goes immediately to the girl in the foreground.
Well done.

Whats going on there? why so busy?

That not-a-model: her handbag and shoes SOO don't match. ;)

You could try playing around with the sky to give an impression of impending doom & gloom storm clouds, as it is very "Melbourney". ;).

below-0, nice work, good shot

onyx - correct on the shoes/handbag observation, disgraceful

onyx - there are very few melbourney shots incorporating the opera house, regardless of the sky

MCWB - can't blame me for this one, I flew out at 18:00 on Friday :D
Greg - - - - D200 etc

Below -0 captured the moment beautifully (but I am a sucker for dark and moody shots)

Quick you need to photoshop the sky out and replace it with a graduated blue sky. Sydney never has rain!

that's a wonderful shot... plenty to keep your eyes busy without over doing it...

the girl on the right did steal my focus.. and it wasn't because of the poor bag and shoe choice, it was because she was all alone.

that shot would be wonderful in a true black and white.

congrats.

Great shot - lots of interest everywhere

Looks like KillaKoala's ship in the background too. No-one picked that up. Distracted by white sails, lonley women and handbag/shoes mismatching :D

Well done below 0!!

Like the composition of this shot. The lines lead the eye well.
Obviously there are many men on this board who have been educated by their wives / partners about fashion - shoes, bags, belts, etc. Hmm...could always photoshop the shoes to black!

I love the curve of the railing

I had a few drinkies at the Opera bar the other night. It was even busier than this picture.

Oh, and no, it's not my ship.
