Exhibition

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.

Personal opinion and this is subjective...

Picture 1: would look better with the top and bottom cropped further so that the Buildings are almost at the top and bottom of the shot. Feels a bit too roomy. They might even work as a frame for the boat heading down the canal.

Picture 2: Great subject. Facinating however, personally I noticed that it's tilted and not symetrical. Possibly a correction in PS would fix. that's again subjective and only an opinion. If I was submitting this one--and it's a great picture-- I'd be looking to straighten it out first. :)

Love Picture 5. However if it was to submit to an exhibit. I'd probabaly chose Picture 2 for the great subject matter after straightening it out :)

#2 for me, i agree with the earlier comments of straightening, but i think a little extra brightening of the darker areas might also help...

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

how about #2, but printed on matt ?fibre glass or something. hung on the ceiling with a even faint backlight (LED so you can have it on all the time)? :mrgreen:

Add bean bags to the room for viewing. :)

Thanks everyone!

Went with #2, which was what I wanted to do anyway so thanks for giving me the answer I wanted :twisted:
Didn't end up correcting the perspective, not something I've played with before and it seems to get good reception as it is.

Surenj, that's such a cool idea... I'm thinking of renovating at the moment as well...
