The End?

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.

The End?

I can see the noise and I dare say it 'adds' to the shot.

I like it!

I agree, the noise - such as it is - looks like grain to me, and adds atmosphere to the shot.

I really like it Bruno, great colour, dramatic. Well done.

It looks like an old biblical scene - I'm waiting for an old bearded man in flowing robes to appear. :)
I like it.

Thanks for the replies. Yeah i was experimenting with high iso, just wish i had one at a lower number for comparison. To improve this i think i should have put maybe some buildings in the foreground? Anyway still pretty happy with it.

I really like this, Bruno, and I wouldn't worry about putting buildings in the foreground. This, to me, feels like I'm floating amongst the clouds (no, I haven't opened a bottle of red!), and I really like the colours. The dark grey cloud next to the blue sky, and the yellow (smog?) down the bottom!

Just for interest, Where did you take it? Was it from a plane?

I love these dramatic sky shots. Well done.

Maybe someting on the ground would have just given some perspective.

But I like it a lot.

I took this down at the rocks from one of the peers. It was towards the lane cove area. I wish it was from a plane!
