Your perspective - PP Long way home

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.

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.

After a request to start a post processing thread for those wishing to give a personal perspective on how they see this
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=38548 as a finished product, follow the link below to download a copy of the original, untouched jpeg file. (6.3 meg)
http://www.4shared.com/file/211776046/9 ... _3261.html

Process to you personal preference and post in this thread as per normal posting guidelines. Just wear plenty of fly repellent, be careful of the cathead burs when sitting, snakes when walking and Roos if driving after sunset. Oh, and don't forget the hat :wink: Go for your life.

heres my bash, pretty hard work when theres not much to improve on! its a very fine shot on its own!

I think the best way to improve this shot would be from a composition point of view, the scenery is stunning, the lighting perfect, but the two competing elements, the flowers and the road let it down. So I cropped appropriately..

hth ..a little anyway..

Nice attempt Gerry. These were my exact thoughts. BW crossed my mind but who wants to get rid of the beautiful yellows...

Lovely really. The pano version looks great.

I'll post my version when I get a chance to play with it.
