Lake Eyre

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.

That's almost disorienting to me. The bland colouration of the lake's water sort of looks like it might be the clouds in the sky, which would mean that the image is upside down.

Which it's not.

Well done.

Exactly what I was thinking. It is a very interesting image though. It however lacks a point of focus that draws in the viewer.

Interesting! I just got an email telling me I had the photograph upside down, but of course I haven't. This flight to Lake Eyre has been for me a study on the abstract. At times, I had the feeling that I might as well have been in front of a gigantic canvas where a painter just sprayed paint whimsically.

Thats a very interesting image, definitely plays on the visual senses - I had a look through your Lake Eyre gallery and there are some very nice shots, it really looks like another world out there, I quite like the birdsville pub shots :up:

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
