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.

This is a collage I made up of pictures I took last week at a place called the Travel Town Train Museum. It's a free exhibit located near the Los Angeles Zoo in Southern California.

Comments welcome.

Steve - love it but have one suggestion - the shot of the train with the blue sky - airbrush out a proportion of the blue sky to show the the pic behind - easily done if you still have this on layers :D

That's exactly what I was thinking, Chris, while I was looking at it. I found the blue sky just a little distracting over the top of the red and yellow train.

Otherwise, congrats Steve, this is a wonderful collage.And as Glen said, you really could offer it to them as a postcard! It's great!

Thanks, all.

Point well taken, Chris and Stormygirl. I was going to do that but couldn't make up my mind where to stop the fade out so I just left it alone. You gave me the push I needed, so here's a new version of it. I agree that it looks much better letting the lower layer show. I apparently didn't save the layer with the outer border, so this version has a different take on that detail too. Thanks for your comments and advice.
