A day in the city

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 day in the city

I broke my "don't travel to Sydney on a Long Weekend rule" this weekend and had a wander around the city on Sunday. Below is an eclectic group of images from the day. Comments appreciated.

More images from the day can be found HERE

classic last image Peter, the only thing to improve it would be a model (m/f) on either one of the lounges, that and about half a foot to the right in terms of composition alignment. The first two are nicely executed, but of a subject that has been flogged like a dead horse.

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

I quite like the first - those floral things look pretty neat - might have to go check them out one lunchtime

I also like the last but agree it needs a touch of perspective fixing - it's out enough to be in that middle ground where it's not right either because it's not aligned straight or it's not purposely out. Whilst a model or something might be nice I think I like the simplicity of no-one there.

#1 - beautiful colours, beautiful perspective and well executed

#2 - This I really like as, unlike others, I have not seen this before

#3 - I agree with the perspective adjustment and the disparity between left and right can be cured with a slight crop

Amazing work there Peter, it is great to see images from you. Love all of them, esp #3, and very nicely done with #1.
