I was lost but now I'm found..

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.

how did you manage to forget your password Bindii?

Great images, all these NZ posts makes me want to go. When were you over there?

I really like #3 and #4, great landscapes...just so many layers all working together, i would play with the framing a bit to maybe see what an offset of the mountain to the side would do though.

The time seems a bit sus though. It would be dark at 8PM in May, Not to mention Midnight. Did you leave it on AEST Bindii?

Welcome back. I for one missed your sparkling wit. Oh and your photos.
#4 is the weakest one of these to my eye:no centre of attention, but they are all good

Hi Sue
Good to see you back safe and sound. Lovely set of images capturing the essence of New Zealand. Love the treatment in 31. I also really like the quality of light captured in the last 2. Terrific!
cheers

Welcome back!

I would tone down the HDR on these. On my monitor, I can see some halos on the second.

NZ is absolutely beautiful and I think you have captured it without having to HDR it too much. :cheers:

Is this photomatix or redynamix?

Welcome back, Sue. Now, set your password to something you can't forget.

I like all 4 shots and agree they'd make great postcards.

Hi Sue, and welcome back. I'd say that I need to get the whip onto you for being absent, but I know yo'd enjoy that way too much. Instead, I sentence you to use your Fuji over the next two weeks. :)

I like the last of these images. It's less typical of what one might normally see. I do think the HDR in these is a little over done though.

Cheers, and it's great to see you here. When are you coming down to pay us another visit?

Love the Fuji...but yes it is a bit harder to live with as your main camera if your not working in its niche

Thanks, but only the first and last are HDR.. the second and third are layered and some dodging, burning and clarifying done on them.. :)

What no whip... how you disapoint me.. ;)

And I would gladly use the Fuji but in a fit of symapthy for my dear old Dad who dearly wanted it I sold it.... cheap... far too cheap... *cries*... I miss that baby...

Will try to get down there next year sometime after all its been far too long since I gave you hell.. ;)
