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.

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.

From the Snowies

An old ruin with the view from the window

I am wondering if the shot works?

I like it, but I do not love it.

Comments please.

Hey Waz,
I would cropdown to the last brick in the top right and clone one into the little space left there.
(the light space draws the eye away from the view)
I would also try darkening the view a tad.

a shot framed by a window is typically always a winner, however I think this one needs to either be a tight crop to make the stuff 'in the window' the subject or wider to make the building the subject, my first imporession was it felt like it was in 'no mans land' composition wise...hth :up:

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

:agree: with Gerry

I can't see it very well but, since the brick wall occupies significant amounts of the picture, it needs to be tack sharp.
