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.

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.

Clouds and layers

I took this shot while waiting for the wedding to start on Saturday. These clouds would eventually turn into a rain storm and chased us all into the restaurant. Unfortunately I shot it in Jpeg and through the processing got a lot of crappy Jpeg stuff in the sky.

Edit,

Looks a little soft on the forum for some reason. Oh yeah, I was wondering if you think I should clone out the plane on the right. It's pretty small but I left it in there just in case I wanted to keep it.

I guess everyone is in such awe of these clouds that they are rendered speechless and unable to type because of spasmodic waves of pleasure coursing through their body. My pics have never had this effect before, I'm very flattered.

Nice pic but i think as yu said, the plane should probably be cloned out. I thought it was a fly at first.

It's a nice sky, very foreboding and the ships at anchor give it some scale, but the foreground is a bit, errrr, scrappy.

The blue hue is nice too.

Yes I know, thus the rather tongue in cheek bump. Hey, why say bump when you can be cheeky about it?

Thanks for the comment/critique btw. I was sort of wondering about the foreground too, but left it in as I wasn't for sure certain what to do to it. I'll crop it out.

It's very ominous, isn't it?

Hmm... I don't have a problem with the plane in it as I can barely see it, but if you were to make a nice big print of it, yes, cloning out the little speck of a plane might be a nice idea.

Very cool shot, Dave. I like the toning you did. Kinda gives it an IR feel. :)
