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.

Love the bush fire ones mate.

It reminds me when I went down to syd for a doctor’s appointment a couple of years ago just after the Sydney fires.
I stayed at a relo’s place up in the Blue Mountain.
At the bottom of the range you could see were all the fires had gone though & the signs had melted just like the one in your images.
It made you sit back & think about what sort of heat those fires had produced.

Thanks for shearing.

Cheers
Ray :P

Nice pics. Good documentation of the bush fires, the image tell part of a story - would like more of the story if you took more images.

And the shot of Perth is great (for me) - I've never been there and never seen the city from this perspective - looks like a beautiful place.

Graham - a very nice selection of photos.

The one that interests me is the one of the Blackboys(?) - after all of that heat they still survive. Please correct me if I am wrong about them being Blackboys.

Chris thanks for your comments.

Yes they are blackboys or if you are politically correct they are now called grasstrees.The fire dosen't kill these trees,like many natives they actually need fire to germinate and spread there spores/seeds.

I have uploaded a couple more shots one of them show that after only a few days the plants are recovering with green shoots.

Cheers

Graham

Thanks Graham for the clarification - I have NEVER been politically correct :wink:

An amazing plant that I believe is one of the oldest on this planet.
