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.

Comments and criticism welcome and appreciated.

Many thanks,
Owen.

This one was in my list of crap ones, but I adjusted the levels and it came out really moody and I think the noise from bringing the levels up suits the mood.

A re-worked shot I have posted before, I just changed the curves a bit.

Pic 1 - I agree it does have a moody feel to it but this is a pic that if I had taken it I would have done a heavy crop. For example I would crop out the pole on the right hand side and also crop up from the bottom to just under the middle string of barbed wire.

Pic 2 - I just like this pic

Pic 3 - I do like. There is a form of thirds in this pic with landline, telegraph poles and the cables leading off into the top of the pic. Not to sure if I like the blown sun. This is a pic that might have done just a little better with a gradient mask.

Keep them coming mate

Owen,
The reworked picture 2 is a definite improvement, although in my opinion you may have blown the highlights a bit too much on the top right.
Well done.

G'day Chris.

Thanks for the comments & so quickly too :)

Did a crop on the first one, but not as high from the bottom as you suggested, what do you think?

I took multiple shots of this but the one that outlined the sun was just too dark to blend it in successfully.

Thanks for the comments mate :)

Hi Phillip, thanks for the comment. The sky was pretty dull, so there wasn't much there to 'blow' anyway :) But yeah, I rather the more saturated look and think the white area on the right maybe stands out because of this.

Thanks mate :)
