Curves of Brisbane

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.

Hi all,
these are a few semi-abstracts I shot in Brisbane last August but only got around to PP now. They're all about curvy architectural details that caught my eye.

Critique and comments on these much appreciated!

Number ons is my favourite... lighting is great and the B&W works well

#2 - I would clone out the bright stripe of sunlight under the bridge as I find it a bit distracting.
#3 - I find the bollards in the foreground really work well to draw the eye into the picture, but find the clearway signs etc a bit distracting.

overall, if curves was the theme you did a great job of capturing some!

Hi rangie,
thanks for your comments. I thought about the sun ray and traffic sign, but couldn't decide whether they're distracting or interesting ;) That and the fact that I don't normally do cloning or local edits (other than spot patching), I try to get away with global adjustments.

Cheers
Steffen.

Absolutely! Heh, you could have totally torn my pics apart, I'd still consider myself lucky to get even one comment these days... ;)

Cheers
