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.

I noticed the address on the back of a tin of International Roast was up in Gympie so i battled the holiday traffic and drove up on Friday night and took this pic from a paddock on the north side of the plant.

On Saturday morning i drove out to the remains of an old Copper Smelter in the scrub near Kilkivan.

Late Saturday as i drove back through Gympie on my way south again i stopped and captured the historic old Mary Valley Steam Train returning to Gympie.

On Sunday Morning i drove over towards Jimna and camped the night then on Monday i took a detour down through Monsildale and captured a rural landscape looking nice and green after the recent rains.

Well.... you try and keep a supply of freshly roasted and ground coffee up to BR, and see how long you last.

I think he has been known to pack 3 thermos's of coffee for a day before :shock: :mrgreen:

And that is a very fancy chimney too

thanks Sue ...
wish i had more time to find a better site and sun direction on the train though :roll:
would have been a great spot with the train going the other way ... much nicer colour and framed by an old wooden bridge.
