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.

Clever composition in #1 and #3 :up: :up: but my pick is by far, #4. The bush images appear 'cool' on my screen, is it worthwhile just adding a fraction colour warmth?

I do not even remember seeing that split tree...good spotting, and again, its interesting to see someone elses take on the walk!

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

I remember the split tree right at the beginning. You've done a great job capturing it.

The second one does a great job documenting the walk (and if I remember correctly, that was the walk down from the lookout/car park right at West Head.

The third one, while an interesting treatment, does not represent what we saw on the walk, or at least how I remember it. It does make me think of what the walk might have been like had I been very drunk (tunnel vision).

The last one is a brilliant nature abstract and is my favourite.

Like Gerry I think the white balance is out on the first 3 - they look a little cool to me as well. #4 is the standout here - abstract and interesting at the same time is a challenge and you've nailed it.

I would suggest converting #2 to high contrast BW or like a pseudo IR.

Love the abstract on #4. Would be a great to use this this image to add texture to another.

:agree: that the WB is somewhat cool. Perhaps it's your monitor?
