Today in the office :)

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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I'm in absolute heaven when we are doing field work - this was our 'office' today :)
Only bad side - it was at the bottom of what I call 'coronary hill' - I'm definitely not fit, and climbing to the top is pure hell (well for me anyway ;)
Not the best shot, but I was sitting in the creek with the camera balancing on a rock in the middle of the creek LOL - and Damian wouldn't go into the creek and take out the lantana hanging across the shot :(
Oh well - I'll put up with it for a while ;) :)

You could always ring your landlord and ask him to put in an escalator of lift for you Rel. :mrgreen:
It is nice to be out in it though. I don't get to enough at the moment.

Always good to hear the story behind the shot... What's that blue glow on the bottom right?

don't know what the blue glow is :( The red in the water is spot on - the bottom of the creek is a really red clay, and the sunlight was coming through a patch of trees on the side of the creek making the bottom of the creek glow red .... the blue :? must be something to do with the reflection of light and those 2 rocks (there is another patch of blue on the rock in the back corner) .. checked all the shots, and all had the same thing.
This was taken with an ancient tokina 17mm lens - built like a brick back in the 80's I think - all manual so definitely fun ;)
