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.

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.

A great little city. Perhaps a little boring for me, but no more so than perth anyway! .. plus its sooo close to the mountains, SOLD!

any critique welcome, particularly on composition.

During the night shots in between old and new parliament house, the good old federal police strolled up on their bikes and were questioning me! ... i guess a manfrotto with 300mm lens on a d70 and guy wearing a ski shell could be mistaken for a RPG wielding bin laden lover. :)

also, doing the guided tour of parliament house was really quite interesting ... to my suprise. some of the facts of the building are quite impressive. (not to mention its $1.2bn price tag 18 years ago!)

two shots that really grabbed me are the one looking up the flagpole. We've seen this thing a gazillion times, but this is an interesting new take on it. But the really impressive shot is the wall of remembrance (or whatever it is). The little red things (poppies?) provide a nice counterpoint to the plain colours and the perspective works a treat.

I'm with stubbsy,

the flagpole and in particular the poppies on the white wall are great.
Darb, am I missing something here ?
Did you tell anyone of us that you were coming ?

Cheers
