Swimming

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.

Moz

As you do not have provenance to this image, it is unable to be posted in this forum for copyright reasons.

I have left the url for those folk who wish to click and look.

Edit: This post is incorrect - the link is to Moz's own page. I'm going to the optometrist today!

Hi Trevor, these images have Moz's copyright all over them, so what's the issue?

Moz, an interesting day by the look of the images on your site. And yes, I agree, that image you posted is a beauty. The lady and the bike gong out of frame, the blue sky and the guys watching make for a great shot.

Cheers
John

Apology!

I have to admit that I carelessly did not notice that this was in fact Moz's image. It says so right on the page, but somehow I didn't pick that up.

I'm sorry Moz. :oops:

I have now restored the photo in the original post.

I really like this pic, it is so 'unexpected', the action happening around the image and not all in the middle (if that makes sense)

The whole series is great - I have another fave in there.
Do the bikes float??

cheers, Elena

Moz,

Great image, and well done.

But have I seen something like this concept once before? It seems somewhat familiar ...

Gray, I'm not sure, I'm hoping someone else will know.

Elena, yes, in the shot you can see a plastic drink bottle tied in front of the rear wheel and there is more of the same so the bike just floats.

Ah, plastic bottles - I see them now. All making sense.
