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.

Forum rules
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.

We just spent close to two weeks on the road, stopping at Hunter Valley, Coffs, Brisbane, Port Macquarie and home. Most of my shots were at the Hunter and via film (I have developed 2 of about 20). Of the rolls I have developed, I was more satisfied with the film shots than the digital. I had trouble getting the HDR to work (using 5 and 9 shot brackets). It is likely to be technique rather than system. Here are a couple. The first is from our backyard on the final morning at the Hunter.  I think I need to revisit as there is more of a green cast than I recall. This was a failed HDR attempt so converted to B&W. We had great cloud action up there.  C&C appreciated I took many shots on Adox 50 and Pan F with a red filter so am looking forward to printing these on FB paper.

I like the first one and agree with rooz. And it's home. Well, my former home. At a guess, Pokolbin?

Correct - just near the Small Winemakers Centre (not sure if the centre or the winemakers are small)

I like teh first and agree that there is some greenish cast there which needs some work. I think removing that cast and adding some warmth would go a long way to making it a stronger image.
