A few of mine from the WRC in Coffs Harbour

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.

A few of mine from the WRC in Coffs Harbour

Went up with Chris (dervish16). Had a great time. The cars were challenging to shoot at some times and I still have around 300 more images to look through and edit.

Nice shots. #2 seems to have a green tinge to it like the white balance is off.

The last image seems to be a standout from my end, however i am not a fan of the black strips/frame but thats just a personal preference thing.

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

I agree the last image is the strongest. Better use of shutter speed and foreground. I would even be tempted to crop it closer to the top left corner, making it a better editorial style image. I dont know if the white balance is 'off' in the second shot, or it was set for auto, with the sensor tricked by ambient sunlight, producing the cool image. A quick tweek in LR to warm it would make it a much stronger image.

Good work Matt.The weekend certainly provided some trying circumstances over the 3 days, and some of the spectator points were very ordinary for photo enthusiasts.
It was a great weekend in Coffs Harbour, and I know that I have some great shots to edit, especially from the water splash on Friday.

Nice composition in the last shot! Maybe warm up the car just a tad to match the surroundings. Great capture.
