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.

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 guys,

Saturday morning at lake george as we were flying passed in a car. The light and mist were just amazing but we didn't have too much time to stop =(

This is the best we could do hanging out the window.

Dave,

For hanging out the window, and on the little screen of my netbook, that looks pretty bloody nice.

Wow that is magical! I think you could crop a little to make it even stronger.

Hope you took some more with different compos.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I've been trying to find a pano crop that works. I quite like the dark black in the foreground and the wispy cloud in the sky so trying to find a balance between them i found very hard.

This is what i came up with.

Any suggestions?

I am not sure on the second version. I feel the first one has
a greater range of colour on my screen. It is a good picture
either way.

Thanks for the comments guys,

I was pleasantly surprised by how good the image was out the window of the car. I've been thinking of getting a micro 4/3 gf-1 or something for quick snap opportunities that would otherwise be missed as i don't have a camera with me.

I also think that I like the first image more than the pano. The extra black in the foreground adds something for me. I think though the pano might look better in a frame. So many choices =)
