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.

Hey hey! First time I've ever done some early morning seascapes, was a blast full of fun and exercise! ( I need the exercise) So with the loving critique of you all I present you with my happy snaps, to get to the location me and my mate Scott walked for a half hour, followed by an hour and a bit of boulder climbing (due to gear, we learnt to "travel light") Getting here was great fun, getting hit by small waves while trying to climb over moss covered boulders is truely a dream come true for those who are at their first attempt to "getting out there." So here's the set. I hope I didn't do too bad of a job considering I didn't have any filters on me besides a C-POL. I think I'm due for a few ND grads.. but I'll let the experts in this area critique constructively. I hope you enjoy reading the images as much as I did getting to capture them.     That's my mate scott on the rock. He's now known as "Scotty On The Rock."

I like the second one. It actually reminds me of a mountain peak. I would like to see a bit more dynamic range in the first one. The dark areas are a bit dark and the lighter areas almost blown. I really like the sun rays and silhouette in the third.

I think you can improve on composition. I find that landscapes are great because you can stop; think; and setup your tripod and really hone in your composition. Make sure you don't take a shot unless you are happy with the composition first...  #1 is blown out too much.. Definitely a candidate for HDR. #3 with the rays, I would prefer that to be emphasised. At the moment it's blocked by the boulder. The addition of the lonely figure is a great idea though!  photomarcs wrote:besides a C-POL
C pol is not that helpful shooting into the sun. photomarcs wrote:I think I'm due for a few ND grads..
It's true that these help to get them right in a single frame but, you can always bracket and HDR. How many brackets can your camera do? I reckon with 5 or 7 brackets you could capture almost all the dynamic range in a picture. photomarcs wrote:First time I've ever done some early morning seascapes
These are great for your first time... You should join us during our weekend escapades... HTH Where is this location?
