Taranaki images

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.

Great spot Taranaki, if only the sun would shine! Had one day of sunshine thus far. Oh well, that's the land of the long white coffee for you...

Love the last one Max! All are great but the first one is the standout for me. The combination of the mountain shape and the trees is strangely reminiscent of Mt Kilimanjaro, only smaller. I suppose you get that with volcanoes, wherever they may be. :)

Yes Simon, I thought the same thing myself. I actually had thought about cloning in an elephant and seeing what the reaction was. :D

I don't think the elephant would have reacted well....

If you had said the first was an african landscape I would have believed you. Great set, i really like what you have done with the wheat in #2, but #3 looks a bit over saturated, with the colours becoming too vivid to be believable.

Great stuff all the same.

:agree: The water in #3 is the real giveaway for me, too blue for a river in NZ.

True indeed Cameron. #3 was processed in lab colour & is way oversaturated. I will redo it one of these days.

Mt Egmont has many moods. We're waiting for the weather to break so we can drive around it before we leave Taranaki on Sunday.
