A few Reflections

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.

A visit to Brisbane and a 4.30am start yielded me a few images I liked, but a whole heap I didnt. It proved one thing I got to get out more...

Love how blacks are so vivid on these. Beautiful colours. I prefer the first composition.

Very nice work there Matt, proves that getting out there early is worth it!!

I love the colours and the reflections. The first could do with a slight crop to get that horizon further from the middle, but I really like what you have done with the 2nd image.

EDIT: just had another look at the first image....I must have been to tired last night/this morning. Looks great!!

boy - these almost make it worth it to get out of bed in the morning!

both are great - but I like what you have done with #2.

how long are the exposures to get that sort of reflection?
