Cinque Terre landscapes

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.

A different aspect of Cinque Terre, undoubtedly why many people go, is for the views of the villages and the coastline. There are many trails that you can hike on and some of the following were captured during the hikes.

The above was a storm that built up within a few minutes and unleashed a torrent of rain on three of the villages. I happened to be coming back down from one of the mountains when it broke. I pretty much went to the edge of a cliff as quickly as I could and captured the storm, coming down the mountains and rolling out to sea. This is one of about 15 frames captured.

The web reduced size (dimensions and compression) doesn't do any of these justice unfortunately. There's a lot of detail in each of the photo that can be observed in a much larger format print.

I suspect they would benefit from a black background. Seeing the page colour is fixed, maybe even a black border might help.

#2 looks like a dramatic weather pattern.

Alas, I can't see the said detail (and therefore merit) of these images on this monitor. I will try with my desktop monitor for comparison.

They appear a bit too dark for my
liking. Perhaps colour would have
been a better option? :?:
