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.

I went to the drags this month at Western Sydney International Dragway and took heaps of photos of heavy metal! One of the problems I seem to have is when taking photos of chrome I get too many highlights. I turn the white balance down, still have problems. I am now only using raw as I can't see the need to set different curves in my camera when I can just override them in Capture. I have also just downloaded Picasa 2. WOW! What a great program for the price! It is so easy to self extract photos when combined with Flikr. The photo that I have posted has come straight from Picasa 2 without any touching up. And it actually looks better than the original in raw. Is this because when you convert from raw to Jpeg, you loose some qualities from the shot, which in my case has actually decreased the highlights? Looking through a lot of shots on this site and only been a newbie, without the right to criticize (yet!), some of these shots look out of focus, not sharp and pixilated. Is there any way to upload a picture without loosing any of its qualities?

The only way you can get rid of those highlights in the camera is to put the bike into a white tent. Nice pic anyway. You have filled the frame and focussed the interest in the subject.

From the thread title, I was expecting to see pictures of a conrod through the side of a block.
 I was pleasantly surprised, nice shot!
The only other problem is your reflection in the chrome (and other reflections). It's always going to be a problem taking photos of shiny things though I suppose! Have you seen that picture of a shiny kettle on ebay with the reflection of the nude fat bloke taking the photo clearly visible? 
Oh and LOZ, just because you think you're a 'newbie', doesn't mean you can't critique others' photos, if you think you can offer something, by all means post!

I like the composition and I'm perverse enough to actually like it WITH the tag since it creates some context. Cheers Peter
