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.

What the?

Ok... Explain!
What's with the giant suspended ball?

Is that shadow from the ball?
It looks in an odd spot!

What's with the spots?
Is that like the vivid festival in sydney where they lit up buildings with projected light?

How cool is that?!

I love how you have the ball's shadow in the foregound. And the clouds are magnificent. I probably would walk past this and wonder what the hell they were thinking. But you have captured it well and in such a way that I like it!

A quirky photo that I'm sure will be a conversation starter....
I'll try to be a bit nicer, if you try to be a bit smarter.

How on earth did they suspend the ball up there though?
I can't see any rope or wires.

Bloody awesome image. It's got great colours, but more importantly it has that WTF factor :) Made better by including the shadow so we don't just think it's been cloned in.

4 wires, look closely at the shot and you can see some telltale clone lines - in particular heading from the ball past the LH flag pole and to the RH towards the Aircon fan thingy on the top of the building.. :wink:

is this related to the Vivid Sydney thing?

Yes. A VERY dodgy cloning effort that, lol.

I dont think it's related to Vivid Sydney at all, more the arts festival in Wellington
