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.

My first visit to Narrabeen Tidal Pool Appreciate your thoughts - esp with the second... One of the most interesting things about the Narrabeen tidal pool is this very large timber boardwalk separating the main lap pool from the rest of the pool. I spent some time exploring the various walkways over and around the pool and took a few test compositions whilst waiting for twilight to arrive and the lights to hopefully turn off... A little light painting of this far boardwalk Dark Tides  about 40 minutes before sunrise the other photographers started arriving and quite a few of them headed out to the outer rockshelf surrounding the pool. I decided instead to try this pre dawn long exposure which included the coming storm and include some of the photographers out on the shelf Narrabeen and them  D600, D7000, Nikon/Sigma/Tamron Lenses, Nikon Flashes, Sirui/Manfrotto/Benro SticksRodney - My Photo BlogWant: Fast Wide (14|20|24)

I prefer the second. I feel there is far too much
foreground in the first and you can do without
the shadow across the walk and foreground below.
What do you think, will it improve it?

Predawn?
Don't you ever sleep???
I love the processing on the first, but I can't help but wonder how it might have looked had you made this image from a much lower point of view?

Thanks Zafra - I did try to lessen the shadow at capture time by light painting the deck a bit with my head torch - however the pool spotlights were much brighter (and there was a ladder rail causing the shadow) so it is what it is  Less foreground might work - as might the lower perspective Garry mentioned gstark wrote:Predawn?

Sleep... overrated... yawn - I can sleep once I've finished with photography I love the processing on the first, but I can't help but wonder how it might have looked had you made this image from a much lower point of view?
Thanks Gary - ok this was the best I had (the previous shot to the above) which was taken from considerably lower and also obviously horizontally  D600, D7000, Nikon/Sigma/Tamron Lenses, Nikon Flashes, Sirui/Manfrotto/Benro SticksRodney - My Photo BlogWant: Fast Wide (14|20|24)

This is what I meant:  Please tell me if you want me to remove it. I feel the first version has more impact than your second landscape version.
