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.

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.

Wheat at Sydney Park

Postby Justin on Sat Apr 16, 2005 11:14 am

Hi, down at Sydney Park the other day - my company has the concept of a global diversity day - you just take a day off to do what you want - for me - guess what.

Any thoughts?

My industry has those too, they come once a fortnight on a Monday.

They're called RDOs!

Justin - although a nice pic I would have perhaps chosen a lower angle to include sky rather than the diverse background as shot. From a lower angle it would have shown the power of the wheat reaching for the sky as it gows. Just an opinion. :wink:

thats mighty weird looking wheat! Nothing at all like the wheat grain crops grown around here. Is it some older variety?

I have to agree with Chris. I like the image of the wheat very much, but it would look better from a lower angle with a clearer background. The way it is now the wheat is competing with the background. It all seems too busy. It does have nice color and appropriate DOF and is still a nice shot.
Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.

More wild grass... Less cluttered and reaching for the sky...

I don't think my composition is great on this one - I like the sky - very high aperture and polariser.
