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.

Welcome to the forum, Justin!

What do I think? I think you're going to love it around here! Nice pics! Perhaps a little too much in the foreground of the second, and maybe straighten the third one slightly?? Otherwise a great shot! Well done for a first post....looking forward to seeing more, so keep 'em coming!

G'day Justin, welcome to the forum :-)

The first one seems a dark foreground, wonder how that would've looked in portrait with more of the traffic being swallowed up by the bridge?

The second dunno, maybe too arty for me, as I'm probably pretty boring in my stuff...

Really like the third one though, the lone bird sillouhette really does it for me, I'd be tempted though to either clone or crop out the bit of branch that's coming into the frame just above the power lines...

Some of the other more experienced members might have more useful suggestions...Keep the shots coming, it's refreshing to see a different viewpoint...

Cheers.

Hi all - thanks -

On the Bridge photo - it was originally in portrait (I had a hard time finding the original as I forgot!) here it is (unretouched from NEF):

And great suggestion on the bird shot now you point it out I can't avoid seeing it - hows this. However the post in the pic really is wonky I know the picture would look better if straight.

Thanks!

Wow, I hope you were in a safe spot when you took that shot looking into the bridge :shock:

I'm amazed at the difference with the cropped(?) shot with the bird sillouhette, that's made a huge difference (at least to me :lol: ) Isn't it amazing how once someone mentions something in an image you can't help but look at it afterwards...?

Cheers...
