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.

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.

#2 is great, I like the ghostly people on the wharf.

I nearly fell off my seat whilst aligning myself with the horizon :shock:

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

Adam,
These are wonderful, but only one thing spoils them (incredibly) and that's the massive 'digital outback photography' wording..it sticks out like, well...let's just say it's really distracting.
Nice work otherwise. Are these HDR?

Thanks guys, yeah my horizons suck sometimes, so i have reworked the first 2, and also reduced the watermark, and now im on the PC played with tones etc a bit more.

Geoff, Theyre nore HDR at all, but in fact a simple ND grad emulation that ive been playing with. One shot exposed for foreground another for sky, layer, auto align, then use the gradient tool on a layer mask to give the smooth transition between the two layers. The main drive for this was i have been shooting tons of landscapes latley and my 12-24 wont take any filters.

Cheers

the re-worked ones are much better, although they were rather good to begin with. coffee table book quality !
the second one should be on your wall :cheers:

Great images, I really like the creamy water in the first, but the colours and detail in all of them are simply stunning!

Hey cheers mate, That shot is actually a 5 or 6 shot verticle pano so theres heaps of resolution there for a print when I get time to drop it in to be done.
