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.

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.

Here is shot from the japanese gardens using kit lense hand held, a little photoshop for help.

Hi Matt,

I like the image. While it is busy I didn't find it too distracting. Also liked the good use of foreground to help frame the shot.

It would be interesting to catch another shot like this but with a longer time exposure (always nice on waterfalls).

I like it Matt - a softening and pastel action would make it almost like a Japanese print

Nice. Colour came out well. Can't seem to see it full size though, it only looks like it's about 300 x 400.

I’m with JP

A little longer shutter speed to highlight the water & you have a winner 8)

Cheers
Ray :P

I would like to see the same photo with a tighter waterfall crop and with a larger screen size.

Apart from that, not a bad photo at all with the kit lens Matt :D

Keep posting

Cheers
