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.

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.

Nice ones Tony, i reckon push the processing for a older style (just for giggles) the scene is pretty devoid of modern items hence it could look pretty awesome. The second image is a really nice perspective and i like teh compression feeling the slightly longer lens/focal length has given it..

Not much water in there now.. :roll:

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

I prefer the first one for its composition.
I also agree with biggerrythat you could
turn it into sepia or black and white and
see what if the scene benefits from an
old look.

Hi Tony - personally I like the look of the last but I reckon the first suits that old world, old photo feel better.

I pretty much agree with Rodney.
The sky is the problem I see in this photo.
In #4 you have clawed back some detail and this makes the photo sing.
The others leave it as a blob. At least the reverse vignette in #1 helps to give the blank sky an explanation so I don't expect to see detail.
Perhaps a little lightening of the shadows to get a bit more detail into the trees?

Well done.
Greg
