Pick a pix......

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.

Big pix. The second version works best for me. The first one is a little too yellow I think. The last one is very interesting since you've managed to turn it into a drawing. I'm assuming this was done in PS somehow.

Hello bigpix - nice images! Is that a dust bunny on the coloured images near the top of the mast on the middle boat?

I'd possibly crop the image tighter (keep 3:2 / 2:3 aspect ratio) so that you don't have the boat on the left.

Big pix, if you had posted any of those separately they woulld have been excellent. Seeing them together makes the choice difficult. My preference is in the order you have posted them.
The solarization is very good too.

Fantastic image Big Pix, and I really like what you've done to it! It's so serene and calm and I love the reflections. If I had to choose, it would be the 2nd. The 1st is just a tad yellow!

Excellent image on any account but just to be difficult I prefer the image that is part way between 1st and 2nd :D

Thanks for the comments ...... Just goes to show when you shoot in raw it is sometimes fun to revisit some old images and re process for a different result.

Love the first one because of the colours, but the third photo reflects a tranquil atmosphere :)
