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.

Rich in colour and well composed. Just one point Kerry - I was wondering if the last pic would be improved with a contrast mask to bring out some building details and not leave them so black.

Thanks for the kind comments, Chris. :D Dunno about your suggestion for the 2nd pic. I've done shots like that with bracketing, but never hand held. Given that this image was deliberately underexposed by more than a stop, I'd guess that any attempts to bring up the shadow areas would be pretty messy. :?

Artsy farrsy - no way, just good images. I particularly like the second one, but unlike Chris I quite like the lack of detail.

Kerry,

Love the colours in the second. Well done.

As to trying to bring up building details ... I dunno. I quite like the sillouette effect.

Thanks for the kind comments, Gary. :)

I tend to use the "cookie cutter" type silhouette technique in my low light scenics. It's a lot easier for me, because to bring out more color and the silhouttes, I just underexpose by using the by guess and by golly method. :D

I also like the second one as is and think the saturation of the shot really works well too.

First shot freaked me though cos the red dot in one of the buildings appeared like I might have a dead pixel on my new LCD (until I scrolled :oops: )

Thanks, Peter. Sorry for giving you heartburn on the new display. :)
