moonrise over Big Red

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.

Terrific idea Shane which turned out really well :D This is a very moody image.

Great images Shane. Love to be out there. Sure seems like you always are. How the hell do you do it?
Just a thought for the first to turn an otherwise terrific shot into a graphic piece. Crop it so that you come up from the bottom and just barely crop out the vegetation you get a strong, simple graphic image. 2 images for the price of one :wink:
cheers

Hi Shane - missed this thread for a while...

I prefer the last one of these, would be a great wallpaper for your screen :)

Looks like a few of us were in that general direction over the last month or so - although I didn't get up as far as the Simpson, the area I was in was pretty special, somewhere I'll definately be going again as soon as I can get out there :)

Looking forward to seeing some more from your trip :)
