Never been opened to the public

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.

I just read up on this, I wish I had known earlier, I would have entered in some images to that flickr group, this would have a been a great post in the events section!

Horizon is very noticeably not straight :D
The subject (I assume newie) feels very small in teh frame, however I do like the road leading inot the image. I would consider a crop to increase the effect of the road leading to the city, this would also fix the other naturally occuring issue I have with the image, which is, the position of the pole and the rock jetty makes it look like a pole, a rope and a bad clone job :wink:


View from the cottage window.....


Horizon is a bit off in this one also - the composition is quite nice, but the window frame (s) do not enhance the shot for me. The road leads nicely to the city an dthe city is also nicely distinguishable.

I jump straight to the lamp on the left, I reckon if this was cloned out and the horizon straightened this would be a very appealing image.

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