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.

Have been away for a few weeks attending a family wedding and touring a bit of the homeland. Here are a few of the 2000 images taken along the way. #1 - We were actually quite fortunate and had really good weather while we were in the UK, very little rain all told. This was a rather broody sky but it did remain dry. This shot was taken in Essex near Mountnessing.  #2 - This one is of Didcot power station in Oxfordshire.  #3 - This is a village in Cumbria called Hilltop, and is where Beatrix Potter wrote her Peter Rabbit books.  #4 - This shot also in Cumbria is looking back towards Lake Windmere. The official name of the road is Kirkstone Pass, but is nicknamed "The Struggle" due to the incline

First in great - I like the composition.
Last is a nice picture but looks a little dull - have you played with curves/contrast?

I really like the first image, as well as good composition there is great contrast between the golden hues and the sinister skies, both visually and metaphorically, it makes you think!
Very strong composition in #2 as well, is there anything that can be recovered in the shadow? It could do with a bit of a lift, I would also have a play with saturation so see if you can get something with a bit more punch. Good as it is, but there may be some potential to play if your inclined.
#3 and #4 could do with a lift in contrast/curves, they are looking a bit dull, #4 especially.
Looks like you had fun whilst you were over there!

I also like the first. It has a great mood and the contrast btween sky and foreground makes it. Regards Colin

Thanks for the feedback gents. They all look a little dull here, on both my PC and iPad, yet when looking at the original images on my PC, all look OK.......maybe the image host is doing something strange?

Hope you have not been caught up in the riots there Craig. Safe trip home, the long haul flight was the least enjoyable thing of the trip for me!

I only arrived in London yesterday and all now seems to be quiet. I will be heading home from Sunday by, Eurostar to Paris for 3 days, then flight through to Singapore where I have a 2 day stopover. Makes the journey home more manageble. Craig
