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.

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.

I quite like the way this shot turned out. I have added the background. What do you guys/girls think?

Thanks Bob. I have done up another one of these images from the other side of the monument. Let me know if you (and others) like it!

There is a bit more "stuff" in this one

Cheers
WW :-D

What an unusual structure. You've captured it well though. The sepia? contrast works really well.

Sorry... Did you do a Sepia (or other) treatment on the pic??? It's a very consistent shade of brown :-)

Yes - Im a fan of the sepia look at the moment. Combined an increase of red and yellow variations to the desaturated image to attain this effect. Perhaps I over did the brown??? Its fun to experiment with the different variations though.
