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.

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.

Earlier this month there were some storms that crossed Tasmania associated with a significant low pressure system. I happened to be at Rocky Cape on the northwest coast when the worst of it hit that area. I was set up on the rocks with my tripod taking photos and nearly getting blown over. When I looked up after taking several, there was a wave right in front of me - a significantly large and threatening wall of water, just held there with the wind, not progressing, spray tearing away from the top of the wave as its substance was stripped by the wind, reduced to nothing more than a small whitewater turmoil. A most amazing sight and one that told me to get off the rocks!! Here's one I took before I looked up, that I thought I would share.  Comments / critique welcome.

Very nice photo,
the longer shutter speed gives a nice effect.
Did you take any with a faster shutter speed ?
Cheers,

1/25" is the fastest I got, but they're mostly blurry. Even though I was on a tripod, the wind was buffeting me and making the camera vibrate. It was quite incredible how strong the wind was. Strange / lucky, but all the good images I got were slower exposures. I was looking for a bit of motion to capture the dramatic effect of the wind, hence no faster ones.
