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.

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.

Hey guys Its been a while since I've posted since I don't think images I've taken recently are really post worthy. However I think these ones are. Taken in the wee hours of the morning on Australia Day. Heavy overcast day gave me RAW files that were flat and rather grey. So instead of just simply tweaking curves and colours I decided to really have fun in Lightroom 2 and go nuts in processing them. And these are the results. Enjoy   And for the b/w lovers among us.   Since landscapes are not my forte I would appreciate any C&C especially in composition Thanks for looking

I'm usually very uninterested in landscapes unless they knock my socks off because very few landscapes have the elements that move me emotionally...but when they do, I'm briefly in heaven. Your last image is bloody beautiful and worthy of being called 'fine art'. I love the way it holds the eye to the foreground, refusing to let the eye wander further. I love the wispy tonality and the exquisite balance. This image could easily hang next to an Ansel Adams or a Brett Weston and hold its own. Keep pushing this line of photography and take it to the max.
Regards
Matt. K

I'm with Matt on this one - the last image is just ethereal. Excellent work!

But the composition in all of them is spot on though and thats what counts! The PP is perfect and brings the composition to life and makes for very very nice pictures....  THe only comment I could make is the horizon in #3, maybe straighten a fraction?

Well the wait between your last images was well worth is, they are some really nice landscapes as Mattk said they would be perfect for gracing the walls of many a home or lobby, well done. The colours are nice, but the black and white are just divine.

The first two are "interesting" (in the nicest way  ) and the last two are stunners, especially no. 3. Really beautiful stuff - enough to get me back down there soon to try the same.

The tiny black barnacles in the last picture add something to it that turns it into a superb photograph. The others are good but the last is great!

Thank you very much for the positive comments guys. Good to know I'm heading in the right direction.
I've been meaning to print these especially the 'misty' one which a lot of people seem to really like. Might try it in metallic paper since I'm really curious to see how that turns out.
