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.

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.

This is a pic from a trip me and my partner took a little while back. I had the S5 Pro with me that trip, this is probably one of the best shots from it. I really like it, but would like some unbiased opinions on it. As always it is straight from camera, no post done.

One of the reasons why I love the S5 Pro so much. It is awesome for colours and dynamic range. Hmm that fence? Meh I'll deal with it another time, stuff post processing it out, just tear it down!!

I can almost feel the warmth coming off that sandstone. Beautiful shot.

I strangely like the fence - it ruins the picturesqueness of the whole image - for me it brings a crash of reality back into it...spoils it but in doing so accentuates it. But thats my personal prefrence - I like imperfections expecially in landscapish shots

but yes love the colours

I have to agree with mozzie, i dont quite know what it is about the fence but it brings imperfections to the shot, and makes it better at least in my opinion, love the colour on the sandstone, great work!
