I never even saw this forum! ... a bunch of my favourites

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.

feel free to offer any advice or critique on any of them in terms of composition, colour, lighting, anything ! post your favourite if one really takes your eye ... i did a poll on them a fair while back (before the recent ones were added.) and was very suprised about what people really like ... goes to show you can never pick it!

Darb - a very eclectic collection of pics but for composition and colour I like very much ”heading home”

chris, you know its funny you like that one, and another on there that i won an compeition with (the redgate beach wave crashing on rock .. "natures fury") ... both were almost fluke.

by that i mean, i saw the shot, quickly grabbed camera, lined everything up very hastily and fired ... with the wave on rock, i tried for about 20 minutes to reproduce, properly setup, with tripod and poised waiting for the moment ... could NOT get it.

That shot of the plane wing was taken as we taxi down the runway :)

have you been there? It put shivers down my spine something fierce. The girlfriend was nearly in tears. Quite amazing place really, being a youngin the concept of war and sacrifice is somewhat removed and de-sensitised to us.

Agreed, war sucks.

I love war memorial pic. Great DoF and the poppies add a splash of an appropriate colour.
