Kelby Photowalk

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.

I made the time to go on one of the Scott Kelby Photowalk this year. At the last minute I did pike on the one in the city, and opted for Annandale instead. I really didn't think I would be able to cope with the crowds.
We had a grand total of 11 on the walk I did join. It was a lovely sized group & Annandale proved to be a lovely oasis not far from the city itself. We were warned at the beginning to be traffic aware and not to step backwards onto the road, but frankly, the area was so quiet it wouldn't have mattered most of the time.

A few from the day:
My favourite. I love the layers of surfaces in this one.

I really like the last one Greg - perhaps flip it horizontally so it flows to the right?

Re the last image...please un-flip. Viewing from left to right reduces visual tension because Roman alphabet naturally flows that way. Viewing from right to left slows the eye down, (like going against the tide), and this tranquil, gentle image will be enhanced by that. You got it right the first time.
