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.

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.

Hi mate, nice place to start. Is the '64 yours?

I like the saturation levels in 1. You've metered niceley for the sky and car, with nice clear reflections on the falcon. I don't know if you've done much pping to this image, but it has a nice 1960's feel to it. Well done.

I also like the second image. Detail shots are good, with many people not paying enough attention to the smaller details of cars. I would be tempted to fix the 'blue oval' in PS, as it's a bit chipped. You've done well to keep your reflection out of the image.


Nice mate.

No not mine unfortunatly, it was parked on Stokes Wharf in Darwin when I was there recently.
Only PP done was to up the Saturation and sharpen the image up a touch.

Thanks for the comments

Interesting; that's something that I absolutely would not do. I think that the chip is a part of its patina, and needs to be recorded, rather than "fixed".

Mind you, I do have an issue with the concept of wire wheels on a Falcon of that vintage. Any vintage, really. :)
