Just started my alphabet project

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.

Just started my alphabet project

I know this is an old project idea, but I saw this today down at Albert Park Beach in Melbourne and thought I'd start my own version up. First letter an 'S'!

C&C welcome.

Okay.. I'll bite (alright nibble maybe)... whats the project idea?.. I am presuming its a shot for every letter of the alphabet???

And this is a great shot.. the dull sky has almost done you a favour here (and here we are normally whining about grey overcast skies)... the patterns that the sails make look great.. I likes it... :)
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

Flip it and turn it on its side - then you have "N" also! :)

Cool image, but I feel a tad more contrast may help it.

Reverse it and you have "Z" knocked over, too.

Got it in one Bindii! Some people are really tough and say no man made objects can be used. I think it's tough enough my way! :)

And do it the opposite way and you get an angular "u"

Give it a tighter crop and you have your "V"

Could also be a 'G' !

Cool project idea. If it's too easy maybe you should do it in alphabetical order.... :twisted:
C&C more than welcome!

I'm just impressed that you didn't start with "A". Which would be a kinda
logical place to start. But no, you have thrown that sort of routine order
right out the door. Nice work.

Why is the alphabet in the order it is? :D

It's like saying the Northern hemisphere is at the top of the world...

Gotta think outside the square!!
