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 got up early this morning to capture the sunrise, unfortunately there wasn't much sun because of this huge storm out to sea..

I only took a few pics before the rain started and I bolted.

While the general public would probably look at that image and go "Huh?!" not so here! That's a very impressive 1st post and I look forward to seeing much more of your work.

Welcome aboard, Ozbenny! You're almost certain to enjoy it here and learn a lot from some great people whose aim is to improve our collective abilities and knowledge.

Thanks Ben.

With the 1/60 shutter speed I think you just retained enough detail in the waves while still getting the motion blur. Any slower and the increased blur may have become detrimental to the shot. Nice work.

ozbenny, welcome. Great shot, nicely PP'd. Well done.

Dee, I can see what you mean, manta is there in the clouds...

(Of course, I also saw the image of Jimi Hendrix in a chocolate ripple biscuit the other day, so I may not be the best judge. It was Jimi, though, really, musta been a message)

It's a great image showing something dark and foreboding. I can almost feel a chill run up my spine when i look closely at the image.

Well done on capturing the mood and feel of the occasion....
