Last visit to Sydney

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.

Here are some shots from when I was in Sydney last month. As always feedback on these is much appreciated - especially since these are in my "not quite happy" basket.

These shoes were inside Holland House in outer Sydney.

I think they all have something to offer. I would move them into your 'happy' basket.

I like #1, but not totally sure why. Might be the rich red tones catching my eye.

#2 is my favourite. The hanging lights and soft golden tones create a great atmosphere.

#3 is wide and colourful with plenty to look at. I like the crop too.

#4 doesn't grab me like 2 & 3 do. Nice view and lines, but might be a tad blue for my personal liking.

Anyway, this has been another installment of: 'My 2c'.

Stubbsy, Four really grabs me with the leading lines into the blue panorama. Just insert car of choice and there is your car ad. Great

Really love the ambient and dim lighting in the first 2 images. Great stuff as usual Stubbsy.

Peter,

I love the warmth in the first two of these. Beautiful colours, lovely depth ...

Peter,
#2 is my fav as they are posted but I think that the last one could be improved somewhat by cropping a big off the top.

Stubbsy, #1 for me (like 3&4 too). The dreamy reds and dark atmosphere plus the subject matter make for a compelling image.
