My take on Sydney...

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.

My take on Sydney...

Postby Bindii on Thu Nov 29, 2007 2:50 pm

I'm terrible I know .. but I havent even really looked at the shots I took while I was there... *sigh*... so there well may be more to come... and I don't want to hear any whining about it either... *grins*

Correct me if I am wrong but this is Darling harbour right?

and another.... not very good this one I need to do some work on it...

Image

I spotted these two sitting by the water... playing with the idea of turning it mono...

Image

and just for laughs...here is me... in my hotel room.....

The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

The wet bits, yes.

I think I'll refrain from further (public) comment. :twisted:

I've tried to get a decent wide shot of the Darling Harbour precinct and never really been happy. Now you've gone and done it and I'm pissed! Love #1

#2 doesn't work for me since it's just too distorted (especially the people) and the perspective is a little TOO forced.

#4 is a really fun pic - thanks for sharing it - it's blurry and you're out of focus and that is anathema to me yet it's got a lovely whimsicality to it.

I think your self portrait works really well. With a different background it would be choice.
