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.

I was in India for work last week. Managed to get up to the Taj Mahal for the day. Just a happy snap but wow. Unfortunately the pond in foreground was empty for maintenance. Theres a chance I need to go back a few times later in the year, will be taking 10-20mm next time and making sure I have more time.

Edit: and the coolest thing about the Taj is all the "official" togs there still use film slrs, I saw their sample shots and there were pretty damn good. 10 shots for 800 rupee, bargain.

If you ever get the chance be there during sunset. Did it as a child and I still remember it, the colour changes are great!

What a magnificent building, I'd really like to get up close to that and grab some shots of the architecture.

I wonder if some PP to boost the sky's blue would add to the photo?
