From the night meet - a few

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.

That first image come out exceptionally well - fantastic use of the light. The last image looks a little dark to me, but I guess it's a night shot after all :wink:

Love light in the first. If only you could emphasise the bridge walkers on the last that would be awesome..

Matt, I am troubled by the angle of #2. I note that the tower on the left is vertical, but the strongest reference is the shoreline and I would prefer to see that horizontal.

It's an optical delusion. That shoreline is curved dramatically, hence the sensation that it is not level....or is it that the buildings are leaning in the wind...whatever whichway, if you put a book under the left side of your monitor then all will be well. :D :D :D

I like the last one. Other than two iconic structures. I very much like the play of triangles and the composition.

Matt, your provocactive abuse of photographic rules has always been a source of inspiration, and I embrace the derring-do involved.

Glen, I am not the horizon police, I am the grammar nazi. So there.
