After the laughter

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.

Sorry to inflict pics of days gone by from my slide collection but these two were taken (I think) at Brighton on a winters day in the 60’s.

Wow, Chris! Don't be sorry to inflict us with your slide collection, It's wonderful to see them. The first is wonderful and the colours are beautiful. My eye is really drawn into the woman in the red coat/top.

I didn't make it down to Brighton when I was there...but there's always a next time!

Brighton Pier was hit by fire and also collapsed and was closed in 1975. Apparently rebuilt and continues to this day.

Love the single point of the woman in the red coat. Really draws your eye to her.

However, what's with the sand? It appears to be glowing :D Was it in the original slide or a bogey that appeared during the scanning process?

I remember visiting the Brighton Pier in about 1973-74.

Ooooh, the flashbacks, and i didn't even have any LSD. :) (I was only a young 'un)

Nice one Chris.

The west pier recently had a fire and was shut permanently. It was actually up for sale for 1p!! Anone could buy it but would have needed to spend millions of £ to make it safe. So I think it has now been pulled down leaving just the Palace pier.

Chris, nice shots, Brighton is NEVER that empty anymore. Even in the depths of winter.

A typical pebbly British beach... Nice shots...

Most of the piers are from the Victorian era and usually make good photo subjects... There are a number of them at beaches near my parents' home in Wales...
Cheers, John
