Solitude

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.

Hi,

Another one from Malaysia. Captured in Little Lissabon (Little Portugal) area. When I'm looking to this picture it brings up feeling of sadness and solitude and this is effect I was trying to achieve. If you feel something similar, my work was successful

Very nice Mikhail. Rather than being tropical, it looks like a cold bleak beach scene in a Hemingway novel. Great image.

Mikhail,

This is a wonderful shot, probably the finest that I've seen from you.

I have to agree with Steve it has a real Hemmingway feel to it, and definitely is one of the finest shots I've seen you post, excellent work Mikhail!

Great image Mikhail

Nice composition and the B & W works well for this shot. Had you used colour film for this one it would not have had anywhere near the impact.

This seems a very powerful and stark image... The B&W treatment suits it well too...

If an image invokes an emotion in the viewer, the photographer has done their job well and this image really does invoke an emotional response, well done...

Sadly, it's reminiscient of many of our southeast Qld dams....

Beautiful, evocative image. Could be from any era. I like it a lot.

Good composition and the B&W compliments this image

Did you use your Hassy for this?
