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.

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.

Good images Steve... the third being my pick.

I really like the composition of the second one, however the lens flare is a bit distracting.

I like the first two because the colour, mainly. However, I think I would prefer the 3rd one also in colour. May be it is a colour picture :?

#1 and #2 are great. I'm not sure what I'm looking at with #3, so I don't like it as much! :lol:
C&C more than welcome!

Oooh Steve .. those first two are brilliant.. I'd have either or both on my wall in a flash.. and I don't say that about many pics at all.. okay I never say it.. I'm so jealous.. I haven't been to New Zealand for a about three years now and must make plans to get back there in the near future I think... :)
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

Thanks for the comments folks. The second one should have been the winner but it looks like it ended up with a bit of motion blur in the foreground which spoilt it a bit and as Xerebus has noted there is also what looks like might be some lens flare in there as well. I didn't notice it until I had printed the shot big :( .

The last shot is in colour not B&W as has been suggested infact I boosted the saturation a bit to try and bring out the foreground rocks.

Anyway thanks for the feedback
Steve
