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.

Still going... Here's an assortment of photos, made in weather ranging from severely overcast to clear skies.  Even a grey day gets a little bit of colour... Lemaire Channel, Antarctica EOS 5DmkII, 24-105 @ 105mm, 1/200s, f/8, ISO 200  Mountains lit by the midnight sun Marguerite Bay, Antarctica EOS 40D, 100-400 @ 180mm, 1/200s, f/5.6, ISO 400 Ignoring the wider view of the landscape, it's worth zooming in on details every now and then:  Our wake Laubeuf Fjord, Antarctica EOS 40D, 100-400 @ 400mm, 1/500, f/8, ISO 100  Iceberg figurehead Andvord Bay, Antarctica EOS 5DmkII, 24-105 @ 47mm, 1/250s, f/7.1, ISO 800 And one last "non-landscapey" shot, included more for personal reasons than because it's a good photo (it's not):  David and Jane's wedding anniversary Stonnington Island, Antarctica EOS 5DmkII, 24-105 @ 32mm, 1/20s, f/8, ISO 100 Looking at this photo now I can see all sorts of ways I could have made a more-interesting composition, but in retrospect I was just grabbing a last shot before we descended back to the beach and returned to the ship. There was a very strong wind blowing, and my tripod had already been blown over (on the far end of the island in the background - luckily there was no camera on it at the time, but the ballhead still bears the marks). This photo was taken at 11pm. The buildings in the background are an old abandoned British base. Inside there's still gear from when it was abandoned in the middle of last century. It's all as it was left: once they're protected from the elements, things break down VERY slowly here! Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10, Part 11

Mate it's been a joy viewing these images.
Of this set number three is fantastic. It's so simplistic yet mesmerizing! Love it!

Absolutely. Number 4 for me: it looks as if the iceberg is giving us the finger. Must be something about me, I guess.  Do you have any shots from the interior of those shacks? Or of the shacks themselves? g.

Great shots again.
Number 2 for me. Dave, is that full frame? I'm left wanting to see more of the range in that light...

More great stuff. Incredible variety in the weather/light that has given you a variety of opportunities and I expect challenges.

 My favourate is number 3 - the simplicity and patterns are striking. Regards, Patrick
Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

Funny, I hadn't noticed that. I fixated on the image of a head with a weird horn! But now you mention it...  Do you have any shots from the interior of those shacks? Or of the shacks themselves?
I wasn't happy with my photos from inside, but I'll see what I can dig up for you. photohiker wrote:Number 2 for me. Dave, is that full frame? I'm left wanting to see more of the range in that light...
Yes it was full-frame. Here's another:  I have a couple more of this hill, but in the background: I got distracted by some icebergs that we were passing in the foreground.

Wonderful images again Dave. As I sweated in the tropics (PNG) last week, I could only dream of being somewhere cool again. You were most probably thinking of the opposite!
Well done.
