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.

They are unusual, and I have to admit I'm unsure about them. I think they would do well in a catalogue situation or in some other publication as backgrounds.
I do love the colour of the third one, very striking :)

flipfrog,

awesome. really liked the bottom two - particularly the bottom one - although the second one keeps growing on me (do you have a larger version?). you're quite observant to have picked up on it. Good example of wabi-sabi.

cheers

Hi Flipfrog,

I like photo 1 and photo 3.
I like the dynamic and perspective in photo 1
It gives a different view and is quite active (movement etc.)
Photo 3 I like because of the colour contrast and the moss that is slowly
getting the timber.

Great photos.

Well flipfrog. For me it's 2 and 3 with 2 being the best. It took a bit of looking to even work out that #1 wasn't an abstract, but really trully objects (but then maybe that's a good thing!)

Dee - I like all three - they are different but that is what photography is all about. The colours are superb. I like your style.

2 is actually an old parking lot shed wall....rusted out and aged....

for those that care, 1 has a story....this is a line up of people waiting for rare exclusive Air Jordan sneakers in Seattle WA...if u look carefully, most of the feet have Jordan kicks on them, and you can tell that this is the focal point in this pic b/c of where the guy in the back right is looking...
some of these people were in line for two nights on the street.... :shock:

Flipfrog I like them all. My personal preference is #3 then #1 then #2.

The colours along with the image of decay etc in #3 is brilliant.

#1 is good too but for me it didn't quite tell it's own story (though when linked with your words it works well).

Looking forward to seing more!

Cheers,
Gordon.
