Finally - grapes!

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.

Finally - grapes!

Finally after 2 posts of shots from my 3 day visit to the wine regions in North East Victoria I have a shot of some grapes (Allicant Bouche to be precise :wink: ) - and a few pics that aren't of grapes.

To see the larger image, click the picture. More images are here and here.

i really like that second shot... and would like to see it with a sepia tone. i'd perhaps straighten it up just a tad to make it look a little more level.

cheers

Mark, Chris, Big Pix

Thanks for the comments. I didn't even notice #2 was crooked when I was cropping it and that's something I'm usually quite careful with. I'll straighten and update the image so the shot above will change and make the straighten it comments redundant :cry:

These three shots really appealed to me because of their vibrancy.

I'll look at sepia for #2 and if it looks good will add the image tonight.

Thanks Geoff. Congrats with the monitor. Makes a huge difference. What you need to do next is calibrate it with a Spyder and you'll be all done :wink:

I've just straightened the second pic above. Below is the shot in sepia. Don't know about the rest of you, but I prefer the colour version (I like the yellow tree at the end of the right hand side leading line)

Oh and big pix - if you can't find the chardonnay I may have it here :wink:

the sepia tone does give it a really old look, i really like it. to me it seriously looks like it may have been taken 50+years ago
