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.

cloudscapes
On Monday evening there was a nice display of lenticular clouds in the west, I was up the top of my hill doing some testing on the microwave link I am installing for broadband (yay!) and of course had the D70 with me.
All 3 were @ ISO200, had a slight increase in saturation, and weak USM, #2 was slightly cropped, and all resized to 1000pixels across. This one turned out a little grainy, I should have set up the tripod, but the clouds were changing too quickly so I underexposed a little and hoped I could hold it steady enough. 300mm 1/400 f/5.6

Good job Gordon.
#1 and #2 work for me, an interesting phenomenom we don't see up here very often. Whilst the colour in #3 is awesome, for me the two distinct layers (gold vs blue) tend to distract. I'd probably have preferred a cropped version of just the golden hues but that's just me.  Simon

Hmm, love the third one, the colours are wonderful.
I would though, just crop a smidgen of the black off the bottom of the image. I don't think it adds anything to the overall effect, so just a bit below the tree I think would be enough. Cheers Deb "Sometimes when you are sad Poko, it's good to hug the monkey."
Cool photos, Gordon. #2 is especially nice. #3 seems like it could use a +1 gamma adjustment to brighten everything up.
