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.

Dee

I get the concept, but the shot doesn't grab me, sorry. Too much white.

maybe it is blown. . . but it really grabs me anyway I'm not sure the shot would really benefit from anything more being visible in the upper portion.

The depth is exceptional. . . . does it for me.

Sorry Dee - this is one of a very few from the Flipfrog Portfolio that I'm not keen on. I can accept the sky being blown out but on my screen the whole top edge of the aircraft is gone. Teneriffe all over again....

Please explain?

I agree that the upper two-thirds of this image appear over-exposed. I don't know that I really get this pic. Sorry.

Refers to the world's worst air disaster in Teneriffe (not your suburb!) in the mid-80s. I think something like 590 people killed when a KLM 747 took off without clearance up the runway that was also being used as a taxiway. A Pan Am jet taxiing into position barely managed to turn slightly to avoid collision as the KLM plane rotated. Without enough clearance, the KLM took the roof off the Pan Am, opening it up like a tin of spaghetti. Everyone on the KLM was killed, almost everyone on the Pan Am.

Thanx, Simon. Yes, the mention of Teneriffe had me perplexed momentarily. But I do remember that disaster now. BTW, in 1986 I was leaving Greece to fly to London ( I was on holidays). The Qantas jumbo I was on had to taxi past a BA jumbo that had been involved in a terrorist attack at Athens airport.
The BA jet had half its fuselage blown out - you could have heard a pin drop on my flight as all the passengers on board had a sobering reminder of the risks of air travel.

I actually prefer this shot over the seahorse by a long way. A seen hundreds of sunsets, but as yet this is the first plane i've seen without a roof :wink:
