Washed away

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.

Surprising how when you don't use your camera for a few months , you forget how to use it.....Not that I was particularly good then either :?

Anyway, went for a drive today and took the opportunity to get some practise.

C&C appreciated.

Warning - no swimming....

This isn't as sharp as I had hoped but I was standing on this little bridge and the water kept washing over it in waves and I'd already almost lost my thongs several times. I was worried I was going to be one of those 'idiots' you see on the news that was washed away in flood water while doing something stupid.

I really didn't see the merit in taking this shot but the other half wanted me to. Probably explains why I think it's the least sharpest ("I'll do if to make you happy but don't expect a real attempt") :

Thanks,

Pretty good series there LB. Can't offer too much criticism except maybe to have tried a few from different perspectives, ie very low down, at close to water level?

Couldn't have resisted paying you out if you ended up on the news. Great friend, eh?!

Oh, where was it?

Quite reasonable PJ stuff, particularly when presented as a series. :)

Thanks for the comments guys.

Would have liked to have gotten lower, but throwing the camera into the car was a last minute decision and I wasn't wearing field clothes :(

Friend? Who? Are you still jet-lagged?

Oh, where was it?

Numinbah Valley. GC hinterland is one of my favourite places.

I thought it was in that area but I was thinking up in the Currumbin Valley.
