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.

Freshly taken at 9pm tonight. My first night shots with the D70. Next time i'll use the remote... it's a tad on the unsharp side, but still looks ok when it's small. Four images taken with Nikon 12-24mm on my home-made pano head.

Also took this one shortly after...much sharper.

Very nice Alistair. Was the 12-24 used at 24mm? Loved the reflections and can see by your shot your twilight suggestions for mine. Thanks

I knew I missed something... The first picture was four shots in portrait orientation at 24mm. The second was at full 12mm.

I like the angle, place you shot from. I once tied up (on a ship) at the wharf on the far right of the image.

The funny thing with the first image that that strikes me is that the buildings are a bit unsharp (as you said) , but the refelction in the water just looks great.....interesting how the motion of the water can counteract the camera...

In the second i can see where the seagulls where flying around the top of the main pylon. (I still can't understand why they built the pylons so high. It makes the bridge an ugly monstrosity. Perhaps it's a phallic response to Jeff Kennet's cheesesticks. The Vics will understand that one)
