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.

Short and sharp for me, has more feeling of water than just a mist of clouds.

Waz
I'm with Shane - images 2 and 4
The point here is there is no right approach. It's all about the image - one is a long exposure and one is short, but the results are stronger images because of the other elements in the shot - #2 because the floats are really well defined, but we still have a hint of ripple in the water, #4 because it makes better use of leading lines with the row of floats drawing the eye to the small jetty, but you've still got that silky water.
As an aside - where did you take these? Is it Lion's Park at Belmont?

Cool - thanks Waz. Thought that was the spot - I have taken sunset shots from there before but didn't recall a line of floats running from there out to the platform

Hey Waz,
I dont really like 1 or 2. But for the question asked I prefer the water in 2 but not the movement in the boat.
I do however really like 3 and 4. These are both great.
I would encourage you to keep taking the long and the short. The rflections are better in 3 and the floats stand out well in 4. You also dont notice the boat in 4 as much.
Regards Colin

I like 3 & 4 because of the composition
1 shot out of focus is a mistake, 10 shots out of focus is an experiment,
100 shots out of focus is a style!, anonymous.
