A derelict shed and the end of another day

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.

A derelict shed and the end of another day

Just a few recent ones from me. A couple may have overdosed on colour, but I felt they looked good with a fairly bright and punchy tone.
Lemme know what you think :)

The first two are really very good... superb actually... *insert jealous smiley here*... i love the oversaturated colour in them btw... :)

I'm not so keen on the last one.. it almost looks too sharpened maybe.. and the colour of the roof stands out too much... well for me anyways... sorry... :cry:
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

wow! I wish I could take photos like that. #1 for me, love the star burst around the sun(if that what its called).

Did you have to use a filter for these. Where were these photos taken?

Love the first two - love how in the first one the colours are really saturated and how you have captured the sunset peeping over the mountain tops.
Number three - looks too crowded for me, but good job on the others.

1 & 3 for me. The oversaturated colours in 3 really appeal. One is good alround.

#1 stands out for me as the colour does not seem overdone. I have seen places that are these tones in far north Qld.

1# Love the HDR (I am always a sucker for colour), Great stuff

2# Why didn't you HDR? Great candidate for artificial rays of light otherwise, Good picture

3# Hmm.. the subject doesn't seperate well from the rest of the image. I agree with Bindii kinda oversharpened look. The blue in the sky doesn't go with the mood. (Maybe try sepia or desaturate the rest of the image.)
