A few swan river shots

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.

Definitely the 2nd for me with the tall framing and red leaves, very effective, Max

Mate, I took some identical shots of possibly the same tree about a week ago, and mine were terrible in comparison! The second one is beautiful - you're very brave going out in the terrible weather we're having!

personally i think the 3rd shot
outshines them all not the 2nd as most seem to prefer

the top tree and bottom rocks frame the subject nicely
and you also have 5 layers starting from the rocks and ending in the misty city highrises
all the colours work..the blues/greys and the browns along with the greens/reds

lovely shot
if it were a part of a vertical series im sure people would hang this in there funky little city apartments

Nope, just a donating member! I didn't think he was running the show anymore, anyway..

And as for the photos, I can't choose either! All great shots.

G'day,

That third one really does it for me out of these that's great, like the second too but the first seems too, (not sure) maybe symmetrical or something :oops:

Cheers.

Wow!! Excellent shots mate, especially the 3rd one. I love how you've captured the composition of the tree, the city scape in the background through to the boat and rocks winding off in the foreground. Nicely balanced an well cropped! :D
