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.

Not bad however would prefer a point of focus...maybe getting low down to emphasise the rocks or high up to emphasise the whole scene would be better... I would reshoot with better light.. Or if you had some time...one could try to get the misty waves effect on photoshop...

Thanks for your comments surenj

I do agree that the point of focus is lacking abit in the picture.
As for the light...I took this at 6am in the morning! to try to get a nice morning glow but i think the cloudy conditions stood in the way of that. Perhaps I can photoshop that in :D

I also used a fairly large f stop...probably in the order of 3.5 to 4.5. I suspect that the photo would have benefited from f/8 or 11 and be mounted on a tripod for increase the depth of field.

cheers
