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.

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.

Hi Kerry,

I like composition and a subject of the first one! Second one is good too but 1st is a winner!

That first one is almost too perfect, Kerry. It looks like the buildings and even the road were staged just for your shot. Good eye and good picture! :wink:

Kerry - #1 does it for me. There is something almost mystical about late afternoon or early morning shots.

Let me have a guess Kerry - I think this is an early morning shot. There is a coolness in the pic indicative of early morning and the sun has not yet reached ”full power”.

But then again, I could be totally wrong coz this is the N hemisphere :lol: :lol:

Thanks for all the very kind comments, guys. :D

Northern Hemisphere gotcha, Chris. :) :) We are just coming into spring, still quite cool here, and it's almost a sunset shot.

That’s why I added the last comment Kerry :)

After photographing many a sunset in England I know that a sunset can have a cool look - unlike Oz :D

Better make that a couple of days Mic - otherwise you'll be shooting farmhouses from out of a plane window somewhere over the Pacific.... :wink:

As always Kerry - brilliant shots. Must be hard to choose which direction to point that lens sometimes.
