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.

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.

Snow gum

Postby robert on Fri Nov 02, 2007 2:20 pm

I have been in love the snow gum since my first trip to the snow back 20 years ago. I am yet to take that shot that captures them for me.....but Ill keep trying :)

These were taken at the top at Charlottes pass, actually this tree is on the roundabout! The weather was rainy but the wind- those of you who go to the snow regularly will know how it can blow. On this occaision I had a hand held anemometer and it was gusting up to 125kmh. I didnt even get out of the car for these shots, taken from drivers seat.

Stunning pictures of an amazing tree. Love that "tortured" look.
Number 2 and 3 are my pick.
For me the yellow background in #1 is a little odd.

I know that tree. I have been past it many a time.
#2 then #1 for me.
#3 is a bit too "high gloss" for my taste. Yes I know it is just he rain slick but I still find it off putting.
