A few from the weekend.

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.

I like the first two images, they are excellent. The first one looks the type you use for an ad; while the second has a dreamy and the tranquil mood of a cold winter evening.

The third one has a blurred background dominating the scene rather than the silhouette; while the forth one comes across to me as out of focus for there is not enough depth of field for my liking.

Thanks for the comments guys :-) they are really appreciated :)

Zaf the first and second ones I really had a clear idea about what I wanted to do and achieve and kinda see them as straight out shots I dunno how to explain, the last 2, the third in particular was just me experimenting.

I kinda like it but wanted to see how it flew with all you guys to be honest if I look at it too long it gives me a headache lol...

The fourth one is OOF yeah... if you look at the exif data its at 1/4sec it was pretty dark and I didn't have a tripod on me at the time so I guess I feel I didn't do too bad considering... but I'm gonna leave it in the car from now on. The tripod I mean.

Thanks again guys for the input and not being too hard on me lol.

I keep coming back to the boat shot. It really has a feel of waiting for the storm. I like the hint of the storm in the sky.
Maybe if it had a bit more "air" around the boat it might be a little stronger. IMHO!

I've got a camera, it's black. I've got some lens, they are black as well.

Thanks Matt and Mal :-)

Mal, here is the original shot uncropped, just adjusted the WB down a little from as shot to make the boat a little greener.

not really sure if the un-cropped version adds anything to the overall picture.. I do know that the swirl overlay thing lines up better in the uncropped one tho lol.
