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.

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.

Sunrise at Shorncliffe

I'm not quite back from the dead but it may seem that way! Thought I'd better dust off the gear and what nicer way to do so than to go chasing sunrises. This was just to the left of said celestial body and the light was gorgeous...

Comments very much appreciated.

Jesus... a sunrise! Did you wet the bed or something Simon?..

Well worth the effort of getting up and taking it though... its stunning.. the colours are very subtle but so pretty (yes yes.. that was a girly thing to say wasn't it?).. I hope that you have enlarged and framed this one.. :)
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

Wow Simon, I really like this shot. Such a different perspective to what I would have chosen with regards to the wall / wharf almost cutting the frame in half... That's a top shot mate!

Great shot Simon. The composition and colours are fantastic. I would like to see it a little lighter on the rhs to show a bit more detail. :D

Wow - thanks all. This was a crop and, in response tp surenj, I initially had some exposed rocks in the foreground. However, they just weren't 'right' and I found my eye naturally drawn to to wall and light beyond. Tough call to trim it so dramatically but it seems it was the right thing to do. I got a a large foamboard-mounted print of it (a'la RedBubble) and it's sitting beside me as I type..... just waiting for me to decide which room it should go in.

Craig - this resized and compressed version has turned out significantly darker than the original which shows more detail in the trees. :D
