Cambewarra Curves...

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.

Simple, beautiful and clever. It takes commitment to stop the car, get out and create the image.

Yeah but I didn't actually get out (here) Matt :)
Rested the very heavy 50-500 on the window ledge so I could shoot it handheld :)

To make the image, first you need to be able to see it.

Well spotted. The rest is, and the result, is awesome.

Nice shot Rodney. Glad you stayed in the car and not on the road!

Which begs a question (especially in New Zealand conditions): How many times do you see an incredible vista unfold only to find that there's no opportunity to safely stop and take a pic? I've taken my life into my own hands a few times on NZ's twisty roads, but thinking back, it's most probably not worth it.

I agree that it is a lovely image.

I do have one query, and that is to ask what focal length was used on your 50-500? Edit: After installing EXIF tool, found, as I thought, that it was 210mm.
I was thinking that the road looks a little compressed and that a wider focal length might give you more apparent depth into the image.

Just a thought - but it is very good as it is.

Nicely captured. It looks like a motorcyclists road for sure.
