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.

Cockatoo Island - Photgrapher Paradise

The highlight of the Ferry Hop has to be Cockatoo Island it's a fantastic location which I didn't even know existed. Keith and I enjoyed it so much we missed the scheduled ferry back, so we could explore a bit more.

Here are a few of the shots from my exploration, haven't been shooting much recently so brutal CC is very welcome.

Craig - you're setting a style that is really your own and it's evident in your changing eye/viewpoint! Great stuff.
My favourite out of these images would be the 3rd one, it has me puzzled as I'm not sure what it is but the lines and symmetry are appealing. The last one is intriguing too, why was there a mannequin on cockatoo island? If it was bird manequin (then it'd be a birdequinn wouldn't it?? hehe) then I'd understand it! :)

Great work champ!

Craig

Love all but the last. The first two look like some dacayed old church and I love the intricate details in the third. The last one though just doesn't hold my interest.

I agree. Great stuff, though I thought you missing the ferry was an accident rather than a planned escape attempt :)

FYI THe third is the faceplate of a (very large) lathe.
My guess on the last is that it is an artwork. Bienalle (modern art comp) is there at the moment.

Craig number three is a real attention grabber, and that to me indicates a great shot :D
