Image for current challenge (NOT)

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.

This was the image that I wanted to enter in the image challenge....but it was taken with a little P&S (canon A75). Image was taken on holidays in Qld. Only increase saturation/USM/buring...

The good thing about the themes is the old Tropfest rule applies to them:

Interpret them any way you want.

I like this shot immensely, Qld Tourism needs to take a look at it, the composition of the whole is excellent and unusual, Max

Brilliant, one of those moments to cherish. :)

Personally i would cut the seagull out and put it slightly more to the left to balance the shot a bit more.

Great timing though, well done.

I hope you don't mind Shutterbug, but I couldn't help trying what Steve said.
I think he's absolutely right, what do you think?

The shadow is not right in the modification, you may be able to fix it, otherwise I like version 1.

Hi Phillip,

Looks good :lol:

Agree with Max...shadow needs to be fixed.

The original was captured as it is...a luck shoot :D

Phillip - you could try it without any shadow as well.

The reasoning - in the orginal shot the shadow was exactly where it should be but by moving the bird the shadow would now be out of frame according to the Law of Physics :wink:

Yes, that's true Chris, but I think I'm done now, it was a bit of fun but I don't want to monopolise Shutterbug's photo anymore than I already have.

according to the Law of Physics


laws were meant to be broken :)

I still love the original photo anyway. It's something that happens from time to time.
