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.

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.

Just about B&W ed out tonight  must be something in the Red I'm drinking 
This is my attempt at a Ghostly Gum, it's on my dads property circa around 400 Years Old ( Tree that is ) not my dad
I love the movie Sleepy Hollow ( with Johney Depp in it ) ( The Headless Horseman )
Looks like the Red has got to me again.
Off to bed, only to wake up in the morning and see what the hell did I post last night, or maybe the Horseman might claim another for his baaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggggggggg

Thanks Chris, I'm on a roll tonight, 3 above average for me.
I'll have to try and bottle whatever is in my brain tonight, minus the Alc
Cheers,
Mic.

great shot ... i would love to see it if you moved 2 or 3 steps left, so the big chunky tree is closer to the left of frame, that thick middle branch leading the eyes across and more out into the mysterious open space currently in right of the frame

This is really cool, I like the composition, and the subject speaks for itself. The lighting looks a little bit strange to me though. Like it's dark and light at the same time. The sky looks grey but there's light streaming through. It's a truly powerful pic, but I'm just not sure about the light qualities. Has this been processed much? If so I think that maybe the tree itself has been brightened up a tad too much as it looks almost artificial and a bit flat. I do however think it's a great pic, but that one critique sticks out just a little bit.

This has a really spooky, scary feel to it... Like the treatment and the composition, but the sky in the background looks "strange" ?

Thanks guys for all the comments,
Dooda, Yes ( heavily PSed ) ( I was in a spooky mood )
Mic.
( No Inverting ) ( Level adjustment ) ( Sepia Filter ) ( Burn )
I forget the rest, too much Red Plonk 
( No Moonlight ) But it does look like it a bit, which is what I wanted.
