on the way to work

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.

These are brilliant, gengi. Love this kinda stuff...just need A LOT more time to play. What lens did you use?

I really like the leaves in the puddle, but #1 has to be my fav! Simple, but damned effective! Nice to see someone has had some rain! :roll:

yeah the third photo is a mosiac of broken mirror shards arranged on a wall. it has many potential..more to follow.

i'm not familiar with 'jack frost'?

stormygirl,
the lens is a 50mm 1.8, great walkabout lens for the D70, IMHO u dont need 'A LOT of time', just things that grab my interest on the way to work..although just means i gotta start walking early1 :)

Genji - #3 is great - couldn't work out what I was looking at until you explained, but I liked it.

Jack Frost is what British people say when we aussies just say frost. Killa is suggesting there's some frozen dew on the bollard.

Genji, I think these are awesome!
How did you achieve the in focus mirror reflection (on the 3rd one) with soft focus elsewhere?

Genji, those are some terrific photos especially number 1 and 3. Number 3 puts me into a headspin.

marcus, i focus on the reflected image and used F1.8 aperture, unfortunately the reflection is not as interesting as the 'effect'
