Return of the D60...some street

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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I had my Nikon D60 + 16-85VR returned to me from long term loan today. It was a rather nice day so this kit for a walk around the harbour and managed to get a few snaps that I liked.

Tips and critique is essential!

#1 Nicely spotted. I reckon you could try and desaturate the background a little to draw more attention to the bottles. The OOF thing on the lower left is slightly distracting.

#2 I sort of get lost in this one. Too busy but with the bottom 3rd not adding much.

I struggle with street shots. I reckon I would have walked right past these and seen nothin much. :roll:

I too like the bottles and am so so about the second. I first noticed the strong blue colour cast at the bottom and then it took some time before I even noticed the girl sitting on the tie off thingy - perhaps getting MUCH closer might have worked better?

Like the above I like the first best. The trouble with
the second is there is no clear subject. Which is it the
girl or the building?

Thanks for the feedback...looks like I will have to go back to the drawing board with #2...but I am glad that you guys like #1...it is actually a crop from a larger image because I wanted to give the bottles more pulling power.
