For those of you who stayed in today

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.

To most a very good reason to stay at home.

I really like all the shots, as the rain adds another dimension. Well done.

So what was the outcome Matt.....is the D300 waterproof? :)
I too was in the city and was surprised by the number of people wandering the streets.
I took refuge in the Uproar House open day which was the first time I was able to take shots inside the building.

I would kill for rain !!!!!
Lucky buggers !

Love the first one - beautiful use of 'empty' space to give the shot more depth and meaning !!!

I'm drawn to #4 for some reason, maybe it's the overall color, maybe the strength of the rain , maybe the church - not sure why but i do like it.
Thanks for reminding me there are more than suuny days to give great shots

I really like the first image with the old woman and the taxi. There seems to be a story waiting to happen there.

You certainly got a lot of rain up north. We just had drizzle.

I could have sworn I had posted a comment on this thread yesterday.

Great images there Matt K. I love the first, as a colour image, makes you realise how drab it all is, the purple of the Jacaranda would be a huge loss if it was to be processed to B&W.

Great to see someone shooting in the wet.
