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.

As I am still away I only have an old version of Paintshop on my laptop to play with but came up with this. It is a slightly different shot than the first one taken from a different viewpoint.

Mark,

This is a very... strange, eerie... almost troubling photo... I admittedly haven't seen the first one.. but ... there is something strange happening here that puts me on edge, like the build up in a good suspense/thriller movie.. not sure if its how you captured it, or the PP you've performed.. but this shot freaks me out. *but I still like it alot*, just can't pinpoint what troubles me the most..

I thought your first shot was great but this one is so much better, those shadows really make this shot for me.

There is a lot going on here. Colour contrast, the lines of the trees, the absence of people, the mood of the location, etc It is a wonderful picture and open to many interpretations. This is a keeper and I would expect to see it framed and on show. Congrats. In fact why isn't this POTW material?
