Exhibition selections

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.

wow, hard choice, being a landscape man i would be inclined to go number 2, however at full size it may come second to the leopard... :up:

Hmm, Matterhorn is looking like a likely shot then - I have a landscape version of this photo that might work as well, will look for it

Although ... number 1 would be good too ... damn decisions ...

Thanks people

Hi, all interesting and technically great ..the difficult thing in knowing what to produce for commercial purposes is guessing what the audience would like on their wall and providing something they themselves could not do with their snapshot camera (albeit different quality). My personal fav is the leopard but I think commercially any of the scenery shots would do better in the market, especially somewhere well known (as they too may have visited) . Color and impact is also important so the boats could do well, the last would be a nice for the romatics, and the mountain would probably look sensational really big ...so any idea who your audience is ??? or what is popular in that area ?
