Practice makes perfect.......another sunset - different lens

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.

Magnificent D70 I love mine.........this time with a 70 - 300 Nikkor D lens.
I get to see this bucolic rural view every evening, it's right up my alley, hope you like it. There is a bit of image qual. loss in the upload - can't help that (I think?)

Cheers

Look at the link. Notice how it says album=random&cat That basically tells Pixspot to choose a random image. This just happened to be yours when you were looking at Pixspot. To be the correct link it needs to have album=xx where xx is a number. Best way is to go to your gallery, click the photo and then use the resultant URL. I think the link you want is http://www.pixspot.com/displayimage.php?album=236&pos=1

You can also embed the image like this

Having seen someone else have this problem today I've updated my How to embed a link instructions to cover this

Got it. This is the thumbnail. If you want the larger version, click the thumbnail in pixspot and use the properties of the image this shows you.

Easy once you know :D

Beautiful colors, very serene and peaceful country image. Country scenes like this do it for me too :D

Nice border too...
